I met Mr. Bray at our favorite hangout La Fiesta. Such a gentle loving personality, always buying ice cream for the children. I will tell the family that I know you will miss much, but there will be a reunion with him, for our Father has so ordained a future for his children. I look forward to meeting him again when he and I will be young again and there will be no parting of families and friends.
God in his mercy bless you and the Holy Sprit comfort you in this sad time.

To the Bray family - prayers are with you through this difficult time. My mom is Uncle Sonny’s sister (Betty) and I got to visit with him and see his sons years ago. He was always making jokes and it was so nice to see him and my parents enjoying one another reminiscing about their times as kids. Hearing their childhood memories was enjoyable and just knowing they were so happy to visit one another. I am just sorry there weren’t enough visits. Always told my grandsons how much they would have enjoyed meeting him because he was a hunter and fisher—things they enjoy too. May he rest in peace and be with God and his family that has passed before him. Love to all of you and your families and Aunt Cis.

To all the family I will be praying for you all. I miss and think about mine every day but that just let you know he still with you when you here his voice in your heart it could be a saying he always said or a gesture he did and it will make you smile and remember him. Pray and thinking of everyone.
I was very sad to hear the news. I have many fond memories of Uncle Sonny. He always had something funny to say to make you laugh and loved to tease but all in good fun. The last time I saw him he met my daughter Lisi and she had a great time with him.
I pray he is at peace and reunited with Aunt Margaret, Aunt Tint, Aunt Ruth and Granny. Much love to you Al and Tim and your families and to Aunt Cis.
