So sorry to hear of Bonnie’s passing. I have not seen her for a while but I know her children and her family were her life. I will always remember her with that larger than life smile and personality. I know you may not feel it now, but time does heal and all the good and wonderful memories that you have of her I will never leave you. Thinking of all of you.

Jen and Angie. You were Aggies bright lights. I know you will miss her dearly. She was a friend of mine for 50+ years and you girls and your families were her pride and joy. Someday you will think of her with a smile on your face instead of a tear in your eye. But not yet. Time does heal the pain. Thinking of you
Bonnie was a bright light. Always caring for everyone before herself. We never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.
May peace and comfort find my brother John and Dale and Jennifer’s families during this difficult time.
