Judy and family,
Gary and I are so sorry for your loss. We did not know Sonny, but with the past seven months of knowing you, we know that you have had a wonderful relationship and life together. A life that has been Christ centered. We feel so blessed that you came into our life. Judy, we know that you and your children, grandchildren were such a blessing to Sonny. Because of your relationship with our Lord, we know that Sonny is in a better place and he is now without pain and suffering. You are in our prayers.
With sympathy and prayer.

Judy – We were so sorry to read of Sonnys passing. I had talked to you last week and I thought things were looking up for him. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Dear mom, Crissy, Mark, Shannon and Simone,
It is with great sadness that I earlier today recieved the information that my dear American dad passed away on Tuesday. Between my tears I today choose to be thankful for the all the good moments dad gave me in my life. My exchange student year with you in Tampa 1987/88 still stands to me as the best year in my life. Later I was blessed to see you all again seveal times in Tampa, in New Orleanes, in Frankfurt and at the great surprise party arranged by your wonderful daughter and 2 sons a few years back. Mom, I feel terrible that I will not be able to be there with you on Saturday. My thoughts will be with you all day long. I love you very very much. You always taught me never to say goodbye but to say see you next time – today I will do just that. A big hug from your Danish son, Morten
