Sonny was such a great person, had a colorful personality! Watching him stroll around in his chair and singing Christmas songs will be the greatest memory I have of him! The last song he was singing Monday night was silent night.... he says, I should turn the lights off and sing!! He was wearing his duck dynasty Santa hat!! Gonna miss him terribly... rest easy and fly high my friend..❤

Jack was the closest most caring friend I have ever had. He'd do anything for anyone. The best memory i have with jack was when I was going into labor with my second child I was rushed to the hospital with high risk problems I wasn't able to get ahold of anyone before they Took me in for emergency surgery and when I woke up in a room I was unfamiliar with I was completely scared and alone...so I thought somehow some way he was their I felt someone squeeze my hand and when I looked up it was him. I wasn't alone. "I'm here baby girl". I reminded him all the time how much that day meant to me.
