Sonnie & Patti are always in my thoughts.  I do not call him enough and that ain't good.  Time has a way of slipping by on us.  Sonnie, have a good Holiday, Patti will help you get through it and our thoughts from your busnut family will too.  Take care buddy.

Sonny will always have a special place in our heart, in the midst of his grief from loosing his wife Pattie, he found the strength and charity to send Patties oxygen concentrator to libby last febuary, without that oxygen machine libby would have had very little chance, she needed it and the local hospital wouldn't give her one cause we couldn't afford it.  Sonny packed it up and Jim Shepard picked up the freight charges that I'm sure were major cause this thing is big and it's heavy and they sent it to libby, it was one of the many acts of kindness that we'll always be indebted to the people here for, I never met patty but I have met sonny, libby and I both had a chance to thank him in person and some day we'll meet jim, finer people would be hard to find.  It's just another example of the quality of the people that we have here on the board, if only the rest of the world would learn to be like the people here, what a wonderful world it would be.  Thank you everyone for being who you are and hopefully someday, with hard work I'll reach the level where I'll deserve to have friends as wonderful as those here on the board.

Excellant idea!

I also do not call Sonnie enough, even though we live in the same state! I did call him a few mintues ago and he sounded great! We chatted about what he did to Doyle's coach and he was getting ready to work on Mike Crouch's Eagle. He has a huge heart and is always willing to help out a fellow bus nut. I really do wish we lived closer to him as this time of year is going to be a tough one.

God Bless You Sonnie!

Sonnie,
We know this is a very difficult Christmas for you.

We really enjoyed dinner last night and breakfast this morning, and we appreciate your gracious hospitality!  Look forward to seeing you again next week.

We will see Sonnie in a couple days at Bussin' 10.  At least he will be among many friends on New Years Eve.  Sonnie is definately "one of a kind".  Jack

Sonnie,

Thank you for all that you have done for so many that I care about.  You and Patti are so very well remembered and esteemed.

And if you could put up with Doyle.....well!!!

Never forget what she would want for you if the tables were turned and enjoy that thought.

Sonnie we have never met before, but that will not stop me from wishing you all the warmth and holiday wishes I have to offer to you. Also a special Merry Christmas to Clifford, a person who single handedly has helped so many(including Myself)achieve their dreams, also has helped in my renewed inspiration, Thanks Bud, Sonnie hope to meet you in the near future.
      And with that, know that you all (bus nut community) are special friends to Cheryl and I, so thanks for letting us tag along.

    Merry Christmas to all, don't forget to share the adult beverages LOL! ;D

     Van and Cheryl,Boo too (Woof!) ;D
