Spent some very special times with my sweet Uncle these last several months. I grew to live him more every visit. I will miss his hugs, pats, smiles and I love you's very much. He could always make me smile with his witty and sometimes sarcastic remarks. I love you very much and will see you again one day. Prayers to our family at this difficult time. RIP my favorite Uncle. Your favorite Niece (hehe) Lorrie Sonier Ezell

I was in the home when Mr. Sonnier came we chatted only a couple times I was confined to my room due to a stroke so he stpped at my door a couple times, seemed to be a really nice guy. I prayed for him and all the others there, they were so good to me. So sorry he is gone but God needed him more.
