I have many memories, all filled with LOVE! Bonnie was one of my favorite persons to know and to be with. I look forward to being with her again after I pass away.
Bonnie, I am sorry to see this. Praying for you and your family.
Praying for peace and comfort for you all now and in the days ahead.
Bonnie, I am so sorry about your mom….I hadn’t heard when I saw in Dollar General…My prayers are with you and your family.
I am so very sorry to learn of your Mom, Grandmother’s passing. I thought a lot of her and due to the pandemic I have not seen her in over a year. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
Bonnie,
It is at times like these that I feel compelled to offer words of comfort, yet knowing full well that anything I say is in adequate. So please take comfort in knowing that God left us another comforter in the form of the Holy Spirit. I know you will miss your mother in this earthly realm but there is the promise of a sweet reunion in heaven that is everlasting. Thomas Moore said it best, “Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”

Bonnie my condolences. I had no idea she was your mom. She was one of the nicest people I knew. I’m sure she has stars in her Crown.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Colleen and I were long time friends. Praying for her family. May God give you peace and comfort.
Bonnie and family, so sorry for your loss. She was a sweet lady. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
