May you all be blessed with God’s peace & strength at this difficult time. Though Bonnie & I didn’t see much of each other, we always knew we were there for one another. I privileged to have known her. I know we considered each other “friend”. So sorry she never got up home sooner to enjoy her family more. She was a beautiful woman, sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to so many. I loved her very much and will remember her as a good neighbor but especially “FRIEND”
