Hi,Holly.. Are you back home from N.Y.???? we got a call from
one of uncle sonny's step children...He is in the hospital,he'd been
out on the street.boozing and drugging,most of his life...
we had Earl take us down,as we needed a little moral support..and he's
in bad shape, huge belly ,full of fluid..the docter said he has
the end stage of liver disease....he might make it outof the hospital
but she said his liver is hard as a stone.and he is dying.she told
him not to drink.that's like telling a duck not to fly or swim.
Janet his last wife, is coming out from Utah tomorrow, to help us
get him on ssi or something..we don't know if he paid into Soc. Sec.
but janet will find out for us..she knows people in Sacramento.
will let you know what happens. love, mom

Hi, wondered how you are doing? bob and jean----nana and louis came
yesterday, to see Sonny...we met them at the hospital,they are stayed
at a ,motel close by. Sonny was glad to see them, he had tears,
We had supper with them and then went home...they were going back to
the hospital to see him again....and then they go back home today.
sonny is off the feeding tube,and on a liquid diet,and they have him
up walking a bit every day...we got the medical power of attorney
finished for him..and took our friend Dick with us to witness sonny's
signature, we had to have a non relative sign it,with me signing,also.
we are relieved that is done...he just may make it out of hospital.
but where he goes from there,we haven't a clue....
they don't give us much hope that he will live a yr or so.
they beat around the bush...love, mom and dad

Hey....i'm not sure this is a good idea.....sonny married Janet Jameson, who has 4 children--
then sonny was back on drugs and alcohol, and also addicted to low-ball poker....
Janet spent 12,000 dollars for sonny to get him off the junk, didn't take!so then sonny had
his cronies living in the house and wasn't paying the mortgage, and Janet ended up losing
her house, which she actually put her money in, sonny never put money in anything...he was
a loser and a user;.....janet even lost the condos she had, and has had to start over.
She lives in Utah, and is now doing well. she helped us get sonny on medi-cal....but she
did it for Dad and I, and we are so glad she helped us... But.....the nurse at the care center
had to tell her off, she swoops in from Utah, and insists that sonny be sent to the hospital
to get the liquid drained out of his body...when he signed a paper with jack and witnesses
that he did not want to be put on machines, or go to the hospital...He is dieing , mind you
and she takes him out to a restaurant, and trys to see friends, when he just couldn't bare it.
She had to take him back... Now , when i called to let Susie know that sonny had died.
she sent her husband over to the care center, and he took everything, home, which i
don't really mind, but we'd given sonny a small, tv-radio and an art set, and pads ,brushes
charcoal....book on how to work with pastels and charcoal..which he just loved.
so when she called , i said i'd like the art stuff back...she said she worked with art and
would like to keep it.. so i said, ok.....but i think it odd. we are paying for the funeral
and should have been the ones to dispose of sonny's stuff...even his wallet..
so i don't think they should be in the family biography,,they are not blood relatives.
and when we get the ashes scattered , i really don't want to be friends with them.
so that's my wishes. I love you, holly......mom...........people do strange things don't they?
