John, Sonny had a military celebration of your life at the VFW yesterday. He did such a great job and the celebration was well attended. Sonny was joined by all your grandkids and great grandchildren along with many friends. It is my prayer you have transitioned to God’s heavenly kingdom and new earth as my Christian brother. 💕
