Sincere Condolences to the Dove Family, May God continue to bless you all with the strength during this challenging time of sorrow. As a family, you're the pillar in the community that embodied the business of home goings with dignity, grace, compassion and love.

As the Foye family, we personally thank you for this endeavor with the late, Vernon Foye Sr., Pearl Foye, Philistine Foye, Arnold Foye, Elvin Foye, George Foye and others resting forever peacefully. God was ready to gift Sonny, this preparer of angels, with eternal life and missing him will be heart-churning.

To the Dove family we are deeply saddened for your loss and we send our condolences and deepest sympathy to you. "Uncle Sonny" was a Father figure, Mentor to me and a strong Patriarch to his family. He leaves a Legacy that has been sustained in time and will be passed on through generations by his Sisters, Children, Grandchildren, Family, Friends and the Community. He was always kind, patient, funny and his attitude towards life and people were caring and genuine. As I quote Charles Swindoll. "Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstance, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home". Sonny's life exemplified the love, understanding, patience, humor, and attitude required to leave a great legacy. To the man I called "Uncle Sonny", Rest in Peace. To the family, we ask God to give you strength and peace in the loving memories you have in your hearts and minds John 14:27. We are praying with you and for you. Love Marion & Diane and the Curry family.

To the Dove Family, Learning of Sonny's passing was simultaneously shocking and disheartening. We all know there is a day set for us to depart this earth, yet when that day arrives, knowing the inevitable doesn't ease the pain of losing a loved one. Ecclesiastes 3, 1-8 states: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Sonny, I can truly say I grateful for all the time that God allowed me to share with you. My cousin, friend and trusted confidant. I will truly miss you. I will hold my memories of you close to my heart. Love you forever. Victor,Juleon, Tiffany, Eloise, Dorothy and Eileen please know you are always welcome in my home, whatever the the need may be. Deepest Condolences, Cousin Hazel, Allison, Stephanie and Kelvin

We will never forget how Sonny, Eileen, and Dot wrapped their loving, professional arms around our family thru losses of our beloved Mother and Father. That special "support" continued to be our rock thru that transitional time and support afterwards. Sonny was the one who's words and "wit" lifted us up with laughter just when we needed it. I will miss my visit's with him when in New Bern, but rest assured, he is in God's house now, a mighty "GOOD" place to be. God bless you Dove Family. Kenneth Credle and the New Jersey CREDLE family

To The Dove Family - Learning about Sonny's passing has left me in a state of disbelief. The first thing that I thought about was last seeing him when our mother, Louise Murrill, passed away and you all assisted us. Then I started thinking about when and how this kinship began. I began in 1990 when our father, Willie Murrill, passed away and Oscar's Mortuary assisted us. I think I can safely speak for the Murrill Family when I say that Sonny, along with the entire Dove Family, has always shown us nothing but love throughout the years. Please know that the feeling has always been mutual. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you struggle to get through the days ahead. Queen Murrill McSwain and Family

My family is sending sincere condolences to the Dove Family. I remember Mr. Sonny through my parents especially through my mom Sadie Godette. When my mother passed 2 years ago July , he was very helpful and he reminded me of their friendship during their middle school years after her moving from NY to New Bern area. My mother was not only friends with Mr. Sonny but also the late Mary Dove. I am also so grateful of Mr. Sonny, his daughter and his sisters during my moms passing, therefore,I pray Gods comfort for the Dove family during the passing of Mr.Sonny. God Bless! Sonji J. Godette-Lewis,PA-C (Alonzo Lewis) and Family
