Condolences

  1. Even though I haven’t seen them in a long time, I really miss Sonny and Emma Jane. They were really good to me and my family when I was growing up. We lived with them for at least a year or two in Wellborn and knew their family all my life. They taught me how to drive a stick shift. Sonny taught us all, my brothers and sisters how to run a trout line. They were both special people. We felt safe when we were with them. They had a happy life together, you could tell how much they loved each other. My condolences and prayers go to his children. It’s really hard to loose someone so special. Look forward to meeting all of his family at the Memorial. Emily Pavelka
