Dear Marcia and family,

We were very saddened to hear of Sunny's passing from Karen and Marvin. Sonny fought a long hard battle, and with the help and support of you, Marla, David and family, he was in good hands which we are sure brightened his days.

Even though we haven't kept in touch much since we moved away from La Fontaine, we will never forget all the fun times and laughs we all shared. We remember Sonny pulling Marni in her sled in the snow, and the laughs we got when he got angry at Kogen and picked up the typewriter. There are so many wonderful memories of Sonny and the smile always on his face and his good nature.

May you cherish the wonderful memories forever. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.

With much love,

Elaine, David, Elisa and Marni

Dear Marsha, It was our privilege to know Sonny.
We were sorry to hear of your loss. Sonny always had a smile and a good word for everyone he came in contact with. He will be missed by his family and friends, all who hold him close to their heart. Words alone cannot fill the large space he has left, but know that our thoughts are with you.
