    Sonya's mom, dad, Kenneth, Aaron and family. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to send you a message. It's been tough to come to grip with reality that I will never get another chance to hear her laugh or "jingle" until the Lord comes to get me. Even though she's gone and in a much better place, just remember how much I love you all and how much you mean to me. We are keeping you in our prayers. If you should ever need anything...and I mean anything... please call me, Steve or Drew. Aaron...Thank you son for getting Evon to find me so I could tell her I love you one more time. I love you all like my own family. Please keep in touch with me. And Aaron...I'm still waiting for my ice cream!!! Love you, Marie
