From my first day on this sight 8 years ago, Sonny and I became friends. His critiques helped me grow as a writer, and I loved the banter that Sonny and I shared. His was one of the first reviews I looked for each time I posted a new chapter or short story. I am extremely sorry to hear of his passing. He will be greatly missed. Thank you, Suzanne, for sharing this information with us. His friendship was a rare and special gift.
