  6. Aunt Bonnie,

    You were the sweetest person. You always showed love to everyone. When ever you were around, you always had a smile ans a hug for all of us. You always remembered everyone at Christmas with a lovely card with a special message written inside. We always looked forward to those cards each year. You will be missed and in our hearts forever. You will bring a smile to my face and a warmth to my heart whenever I think of you.

  7. Aunt Bonnie I will miss your loving hugs, sweet smile, and your gracious character. I am so grateful to have the memories of our lunches together and all the fun that we had as a family when we were younger. I always wanted to be able to have penmanship like yours. I practiced and practiced but did not have the gift. Unfortunately I won’t be able to be with you today, but you and your family are deep in our thoughts and prayers. Until we see each other again. I love you, Rhonda K
