25 Oct 2021My sister sonnie was devoted to spreading the gospel of the LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN. She spread the absolute need to be born again. RONNNIE AND DR. DONNIE CLANCY LOVED HER AS RONNIE SHARED THE GOSPEL WITH HER AS SHE AND THE TWINS DROVE OUT TO THE COUNTRYSIDE TO EXERCISE HER BEAGLE GEORGE. RICHARD WAS IN VIETNAM THAT YEAR AND WE Prayed fervently for his safety that whole year. Sonnie lived with us and taught grade school at Washington elementary. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. Sonnie loved her many talents and she attributed all things to JESUS.
