Bonnie was such a sweet person. Always smiling and up. A pleasure to deal with always and had thoughtful responses to opinions. It’s a very special gift to go through life smiling and she had that gift. Rest in peace.
As a “stranger” to the area, I seemed to run into Bonnie everywhere! What incredible energy she gave to the community. She was always warm and friendly, and always smiling. I’m sorry she left the world too young. Wishing her family strength in this difficult time.
Milo and family and friends. Our deepest sympathy for your loss.Bonnie always had a smile and very cheerful,a Great Lady Bonnie will be sadly missed by all who loved her.You have all your memories keep dear to your heart and Bonnie will be watching over you. Peggy&Rick Cooper
I am very sorry to hear that sweet Bonnie has died. Please accept my condolences. We worked together in Pittsford on the Republican committee enjoying lunches, parades, and elections until I moved to Pittsburgh and lost touch. I am terribly, terribly sorry for your loss. Cynthia Cable
Bonnie was so full of energy and ideas! During the years she was the aide with Assemblyman Errigo she was a great help to the youth bureaus in the Finger Lakes Region. She assisted us in setting up legislative events and talk times between youth and legislators. These youth opportunities were very positive leadership experiences for the teens. It was never the same once Joe and Bonnie were no longer our go to people. I enjoyed continuing the relationship with Bonnie over the years in various community events including the Business Education Alliance. She will be greatly missed in the Livingston County community.
As our hearts are broken, may Bonnie’s love and light shine through the darkness and bring deep peace. Even death can not silence such a a beautiful soul. With sympathy, Chris
Milo,
I will always remember Bonnie the way I last saw her….smiling, full of hope and optimism, and great spirit. She was a fighter, a beautiful lady with a big heart. I will always be grateful that I knew her! She touched us all in ways she never even realized. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Remember that great memories are blankets for a healing heart. God Bless. Maggie
Milo,
We are so sorry for your loss. I just don’t know how to express my feelings other than it just pain sucks. I know that is not proper but it is exactly how I feel. I just try to make sense of it all. How is it all determined? You can do everything right, eat right, exercise and live right…but that is not a guarantee that one will live a long life. The older we get we realize more and more that everyday is certainly a gift. Bonnie was a great, no make that incredible person. As Billy would say “One of the nicest ladies he has ever met”. Her goal was to make everyone happy. She always had that beautiful smile on her face! She did the work of 10 people. I could go on and on. She fought a tough fight. She will be missed. We are so glad we had the opportunity to cross paths with her here on earth. All our love….Lynnea & Billy
