Patty.. so sorry for your loss.. thoughts and prayers with you and your family.. hope all is well with your kids and grandkids.. take care.. buck

I have so many fond memories of the Beaver Dam Sonnemans, where I spent many summer days as a child with my cousins, Sandy, Pat and Bob, or as we called him at the time, Little Bobby. Hide and seek, 500 Rummy, catching gophers and chipmunks at the cemetery, spending long days at the Dodge County Fair, selling kool aid at our own stand, going to the corner grocery for candy, eating pizza and popcorn and on and on. Uncle Bob and Aunt Lorraine provided a fun and safe environment for us. We cousins drifted apart in our adult years, but these and other special memories remain. From the obituary, I can see that cousin Bob had a full life with many blessings. To Bob's sisters and their families, may memories such as these make you smile and focus on how blessed we were in that time of our lives. We have lost Little Bobby for now, but we do not forget. With love, Mike
