    Aunt Bonnie was one of the kindest most gentle person I have know. Some of my best memories are sharing family holidays in her living room. As well as, spending weekends in the summer down in Birmingham and enjoying her famous pies. Your family will be in my prayers.

    Bonnie, I can’t believe you are gone.i just talked to you a week and 12 ago and you sounded so good. You assured me you were ok and I said I was going to come up in a couple if weeks to see you, Cora May and brothers. Had I known how bad it was I would have come up the next day.

    I met Bonnie at West Platte. We were in the same gym class. I was in junior high and she was a senior, helping the teacher. I’ll never forget how kind she was to all of the younger students. She had a great smile, lots of energy, and compassion. I’m so sorry for your loss.
