Christy, I can’t begin to tell you how much Sonny meant to Jim and me. Jim was telling me last night about his 1st beach trip. Your grandma and grandpa, Sonny, Richard, Jim’s mom and dad, Jim, and his younger brother Jerry piled up in your grandpa’s big new car and went to Myrtle Beach. (All he can remember is your grandpa’s BIG car.) I told him that was 4 adults and 4 kids, where did the kids ride? Took turns riding in the Trunk??? We will eventually lose some of the memories of his declining years and the suffering and frustration he endured because he wasn’t able to do things for himself. We will only remember the good times we shared. Love you, Christy
Jim & Glenda Kearns
