Brenda and Suzy, We were saddened on hearing of the passing of your Dad. We did not know him but it appears he was loved very much and respected by lots of folks. I know it is hard for you two but especially for your Mom who has been with him for so many, many years. We will be praying for your comfort.
I am so sorry we won't be able to attend the funeral. James has a Doctors appointment that he doesn't need to miss.
We love you guys,
James and Shirley
Thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Sodie was one of a kind - in the best way possible. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to know him and be influenced by his Godly example. Prayers for Erm, the girls and all the family.
You will be missed "mr. Sodie" as a teenager had a lot of fun shooting skeet with and against you, Mercy.
We are so sorry to hear of Sodie's passing. The family is in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time. We have been so blessed knowing Tom and Sodie over the years. We will truly miss seeing Sodie outside in his yard and visiting with him, he knew how to make us laugh with his jokes.
Love and Prayers,
Wayne and Liz Tucker

Prayers to all the family. Sorry for your loss. What a great guy Sodie was. I really enjoyed all the good times I had working with him and great stories and jokes he told. I'm out of town and unable to attend the service.
To all the family, you are in my prayers and thoughts.
