I can’t possibly top what my daughter sent…..she’s good at finding poems to send in times of troubles. I know Bubba meant alot to me….and I thank her for teaching me how to make cabbage and noodles…my girls still eat them all up! Heather told me today that Bubba had went home to be with our Father in his home…..so she is at peace! She was quite a character…yet what a Mother is supposed to be. I know she will be missed….but remember she is always there watching ovr you.
I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
“Their work on earth is done.”
I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
“There’s peace dear one at last.”
I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
“The spirit never dies.”
I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
“The Lord is coming soon.”
I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
“They left you with their love.”
I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
“They’re with you every day.”
“The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they’ve finally found.
Kathy, Mis & Jen…My thoughts and prayers are with you…Love, Heather
I’m Deeply sorry to hear about Bubba. She was a great woman, always wonderful to be around. She will be missed by many people. I picture her the same way as Becky does,as many others will also. Keeping you in my thoughts & prayers. Joshua, Rikki, Gabby & Zander
Janet and I send our condolances and regrets to Aunt Emmy’s family. She was a great Aunt to me and was one heck of a cook. I still remember all the Christmas holidays spent at her house, gourging myself on her food. She also looked after me like a mother and always let my mom know when I was up to no good. At the time I did not like it, but now I thank her and appreciate all she did for me. She will be greatly missed.

Just wanted to add a few more words, want to say what a real family Ms. Sonk had. Her daughter Cathy, and son in law, Bud, and two grandaughters, are to be complimented for taking care of her, their time and devotion is irreplacible. John Sonk and family, Your mother should be pround of you and Maria, two wonderful young grandsons, Maria, a great wife and mother, John, you have transformed from the shy youth I once knew to a man of scholarly intrique and a well honed demeanor, bravado for you.
John, Maria, Bud, and Cathy …Well done … Ms. Sonk is proud of you all. She Is Now Watching Over You All.
