Loved Ms Bonnie!!! She was a awesome lady!! A regular little firecracker!!!
Bonnie what a joy you were to be around. Bonnie's humbleness combined with her joy of life brought happiness to many. Two of my grandchildren caught their first fish in the pond behind her house. She praised and loved their efforts as they held up their 3-inch fishies. We'll see you later, Bonnie, where there is no more pain and only joyful love for our Lord.
Dear Glenda and Connie, We were so saddened to hear the news of your mom, Your dad and mom have left a mark in our hearts, two wonderful people that were there for us when we needed them, you will never be forgotten.. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. , love, Michael and Angele.
