Condolences

Virginia and family, We just found out about Eugene this afternoon. He was such a gentle and wonderful man. He always had a great story to tell and an infectious laugh. We'll always remember the soft spot he had in his heart for our dog Lady and the special time he set aside for her everyday. We have missed having him as our neighbor and will continue to miss him. You were blessed to have him in your lives. Love, Bill, Anita, Brandy and Jason

Dear Virginia, Jay, and Family,

We saw the notice that Sonny had passed on. Please accept our sympathy. We have such fond memories of Sonny from our years in Petersburg at Covenant Church. Sonny was so full of God's love and lived his faith. The world is a better place because of him. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
