Linda and Dawn, please accept our humble condolences. We did not know Sonny all that well but from what we understand and have been told he was a great man. The world needs more men of his character and caliber. I lit one of the candles to symbolize the light he shone. It is an honor and blessing to know you all not only as coworkers but as friends. We are praying for you. With love and appreciation, LeRoy and Betty McDaniel.
