My heart felt sympathy to the Marquez family on the loss of Sonny James. I knew Sonny since we were little boys and will remember playing in the ditches in Vadito and in the playground behind the headstart. His smile and love of life will remain forever. Don't cry because he is gone, but smile because he lived. You all are in our prayers.

With all our love,
