Eternal Flame of Friendship's
February 2016 

Sonny My friend, I will always miss you!
My friend, we will all miss you. It will be 6 years this June I miss hearing your voice and seeing you smile, Just being with you and hanging out a while in 66. A friend Closer than my shadow at times. We will all miss you. In my heart with memories when Mornings lasted until sundown.

If nothing else, maybe destiny will hear my pain… and give me yet another chance to relive all the happy memories that your friendships has given me and the Class of 66 over time and in time at Old North High.

I give you this Eternal Flame with will live in time.

 Although the way we all lost a dear friend or two along the way.
 
The Class of 66 seems to have weathered the 50 years or so since graduation. We our all friends and classmates.

Unlike the classes that came before or after us, our class seems to have an unspoken bond, a flame of friendship that glows warmly across the decades, a light that refuses to go out. No matter what happens to the world around us, as long its warming glow remains in our hearts, we know we will never fail —because we have each other!

Our class sees its periodic reunions as more than just a time capsule. They also measure our dreams, how well we have weathered Life’s Journey thus far, and they embold us to new challenges in the future. In short, reunions both reaffirm and renew us. Stay safe, everyone, and God willing, we’ll see you again soon old friend from 1966....

Anderson Family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I met Sonny through a friend of my mother's, Ronny Majors back in the projects. Some 25 years later, he was my teacher at Street Academy. I was so devastated to find out he had passed. I cryed a long time. It hurt me more to know, some 6 months ago he is no longer a phone call away. I just found out 12/26/10. I remember Sonny helping me with some cases regarding my son. He never hesitated when you asked him a favor. He just did it. It took another incident where i was in need of his help for me to find out my dear friend had left this world. Over the past few years, i would see him at Cub or Rainbow & we would catch up. I hate the fact i didnt get to say goodbye. But just remember to look after our loved ones, talk to them daily. Sonny you will never be forgotten.

May God bless your beautiful soul.

Big Bro,
The holidays have just not been the same without you. It is really tough. You were that strong male figure/role model in the family - you are sorely missed. Some of my greatest treasures now are pictures of you. I keep running across various pictures and they bring smiles to my face. More than memories connect all of us with you. We remain forever one in spirit with God and with you. What is ours in spirit can never be taken away. Although you are gone ~ physically, God did not leave you. I trust you to God's care and keeping and know that you are at peace, guided by God and enfolded in His everlasting love that knows no bounds. Know that we are with you and keep you forever in our hearts. Words can never express how much I love you and miss you, but there is nothing wrong in trying to express it as much as possible.
Big Sis, Sylvia,

Tell big grandma I'm missing her more than ever right now , I can't wait till the day we are all together again !
Love you Uncle Son :)

My heart remains heavy. I miss you Sonny. Your voice, your presence, your support. You were my prime backup with Dad. I literally had to remove a live mouse on a sticky at Dad's the other day. Now you know that ain't me. Also, who am I going to get to change his furnace filters. Miss You!!!!!

Love Sylvia

Where to begin, my dear old friend
In the beginning
You don’t think about the end

Dominoes, Ripple wine, study on the run
Didn’t we have us some hella good fun?

College days thru old and gray
Can’t believe
You’re not a phone call away

You made me laugh, you mad me smile
Oh to hang out once more for a while

Time for goodbye, bull buddy of mine
I’ll see you again...all in God’s time.

Missing you...MP

Dear Anderson family,
I just wanted to let you know that sonny was a great person and a wonderful friend to my father john jefferson. I remember him and sonny playing gammon until 4 in the moring. I dont think my dad had a closer friend in this world and I know he misses him dearly. I hope god has eased the pain a little and I want you all to know that you are in our prayers. Much love

Sonny,
There continues to be no words to express how much I miss you. You know Dad and I talk often and we both were saying how we find ourselves starting to ask "you talk to Son today", or how we think we hear your voice outside about to come into Dad's house. Just yesterday, Eddie and I were talking about how often, when something comes up, we go to reach for the phone and call "Son". They say time heals all wounds - I will have to see. One thing is for sure, your presence resides in my heart, so you will never be forgotten. I love you Big Bro and I miss you so so much!

Sylvia

I have thought about you every day since your passing and will likely do the same everyday from now on..... there are so many reflections of the times gone by. I thank God we were able to hang out, run, and be together through the years. With you and Eddie let me say, "long live the spirit of the Million Man March."

Since I was a brand new attorney at age 24 just down the hall from Sonny at the Legal Rights Center, I have had him as a friend and a guide through everything there is to know to do effective work in the multicultural city that we live in. He was always there with helpful comments and work and a twinkle in his eye. I was delighted when we both ended up at the Public Defender's Office and were able to do more cases with him. He was a delight in a system that isn't perfect. He is missed.

It has taken me a minute to write something. I am still in a state of shock and disbelief. It feels impossible to comprehend that my brother is gone - I miss him so much. Sonny was our rock! Sonny was sick, but he was not expected to die. I also accept the fact that God allowed it and as my cousin Jon said, he needed him as his personal investigator. My brother, rest in peace. This will be the first of many entries throughout this year. I love you and I miss you!

To the entire Anderson family;
Heartfelt sympathy for the huge loss. I will continue to pray for you. May you find peace and strength in the comfort of each other and in the memories that Sonny is leaving behind...
The community has again, lost an angel.

You were more then a cousin to me and my family. You were also one of my best
friends. You touched a lot of lives in a postive way and you will be missed by one and all. We shared a lot of great times over the years and they will stay with me for the rest of my life.
The family reuninons, BBQ's and simple get togethers, sporting events an of course fishing, but more importantly, just talking about different subjects and life.
The stories and laughs were priceless, just as the love you showed to those you cared about. Your legacy will live on forever. God must of had a very tough case he needed you to investigate.
Until next time.

What can I say to ease the pain…

Nothing, as it will only come through time and prayer. However, I can tell you this… I am just a call away and here for you all.

I will forever remember Sonny who outshined many people with his wonderful personality, sense of humor, and most important his helping hand to others – One of a kind.

Rest in peace (cousin) Sonny!

I will really miss you at bowling where I came to know you over many years of bowling on the same league. I had the privilege of having you bowl on the same team as me the last two years You were always upbeat, encouraging, and fun to be around. Your signature refrain when someone bowled a good frame was Booyah! (not sure of the spelling). As a social worker for Henn. Co., I sometimes ran into you at work You always seemed to be an advocate for people who had made a wrong turn. I really kept thinking that you would somehow come back from the recent setback in your health and you would be bowling on my team again in the fall. Condolences to all of Sonny's family and friends.

Dear Dianna, family and close friends. I'm so sorry to hear Sonny has left this world. Whether at the Legal Rights Center or at the PD's office, I always counted him as a friend and mentor. I know Sonny has helped so many people over the years. He has left the world a better place. My sympathy and prayers go out to you.
