So sorry for your loss. She is at peace now and with Uncle Bob. I always remember seeing pictures of her in prom dresses. To me she looked like Cinderella. Hope to be able to make services, but will have to wait and see how neck is doing. Love to all.
Wanda and Family: I'm sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Bonnie
Michelle I am so sorry for the loss of your mother I will keep you and all your family in my prayers may God comfort you and this lonely hour as he knows how we love you and praying for you
Wanda, Tony, and Michelle: My heart hurts for you, and with you, at the loss of your Mom. The 50+ year flood of memories of her and your Dad in my life is overwhelming. They included me as part of your family almost from the first day we became neighbors. I can't imagine, nor do I want to, what my childhood and early adult years would have been like without them. I am so glad that I let them know while they were still living what a difference they made in my life and how much I loved them. Your Mom was without question the most soft spoken, kind, and patient woman I have ever known. She was such a good cook and seamstress and awesome cake decorator. The one thing about her that was most special was her dedication and love of her family. She is with your Dad now and I can almost hear him say, "what took you so long, Gracie?" My prayers and love are with you and your families. Godspeed on your journey dearest Bonnie. I love you. Till we meet again...
My condolences to Bonnie's family and personally to my dear friend Wanda. I have fun memories of Bonnie, from my teen years, while hanging out with Wanda.
Wanda Thoughts are with you and your family. Your mom was way way too young I had no idea she was only 76 God bless you her and your father and it is reassuring to know they are together That's of love and hugs Bob
Bonnie took me into their home always made me welcome, treated me like one of their own. I loved her smile, her laughter and how she always looked so pretty. I bet Bob was waiting for her with a smile on his face. My heartfelt sympathies to the family.
I will miss my classmate at future reunions. We always had a great visit. My condolences to the family.
So sorry to learn of Bonnie's passing. She was a classmate who enjoyed our class reunions. We will miss her❤
I would like to extent my deepest condolences to the Family of Bonnie and especially Amy for the loss of her beloved Grandmother.
Wanda, condolences for the loss of your mother. She was such a pretty lady and always a smile on her face. Prayers for your family.
