Aunty Bonnie was one of the best most amazing, beautiful, and wonderful people there ever was. I will miss her so very much. I’m so sorry my dear cousins for what you’re going through. I’m sending all my love and prayers to you and your families. She is now with the love of her life and all the rest of her families waiting for her.
Thank you Lynda ~ Love you
It was my pleasure being your nephew,I remember the weekend my dad talked you and Donnie, Debbie and Lori to come with us to black hills !! Had a blast !!! You are certainly loved and blessed and you will be missed
Hi David, I can’t tell you how many times we have told that story! It was one of the most memorable vacations we ever had!
Bonnie was a Stonehaven family member and my neighbor (just across the hall and two apartments down). She was active participant to many of the events happening all around us. Tuesday coloring, Bonnie would come done to the lobby and visit us as she sat by the fireplace. We were in drawing class together each Monday afternoon. Bonnie enjoyed taking in the movies in the theatre and enjoyed visiting outside on the patio. Every once in a while when I opened my door, there would be a loaf of banana bread waiting for me. Thanks to Bonnie! One Christmas, I answered my door and there Bonnie had made a “Happy Birthday Jesus” birthday cake. She and another neighbor Gloria were going door to door sharing birthday cake. I will miss my neighbor and friend Bonnie. My sympathy, thoughts and prayers to you all during this tender time.
Thank you Sheryl. Mom always enjoyed spending time with you. Your kind words and memories are much appreciated.
