I know Sonny is with his Lord and happier than any of us can imagine. We are cousins in the Thomas side and I love all the memories of our Thomas family. I remember his Mom and Dad from my childhood.
Sonny is the one who led my daddy, Roy Thomas to the Lord before he passed away years ago. So what a reunion they are having. Always grateful for Sonny

Allen Family I am so sorry for your loss but Brother Sonny as I knew him was always preaching and singing about Jesus and he loved his beautiful Jewel of a wife. They both were a light to many. He is now resting in the glory of our heavenly father. Peace I speak unto you & memories of a legacy that will go on for generations. The word of God works!

I first met Brother Allen in 1989 when I worked at a Chiropractors office. His wife and youngest daughter came and they were so full of love from the Lord. In later years I attended church with them off and on at revivals. I never saw him that he didn't have a smile and positive word. I am praying for his family...but sure that he is in a much better place.
