Bonnie my friend, the gentle soul. We will miss you and grieve with your family. Enjoy your heavenly family and squeeze Jinx for us. Thanks for the beautiful Calla Lily plant and I will think of you always when I look at it. Be at peace my dear. Our love, the Amborns.
Bonnie has made such a difference in my life, I know she will always be with us. I love you, your brother.
We met Bonnie and Jim over 30 yrs ago. Distance never dimmed our love for them. When Bonnie made a friend it was for life. I love you ,will think of you often. Take a walk down the rainbow bridge I have a feeling some furry friends are waiting for you.
Kevin, I am so sorry for your loss. Knowing we will probably out live our Mother is like knowing a train is coming, when we get hit it does make the pain any less. You will be together again.
Bonnie, you were such a special friend. Knew you since you were 14 at Smitty’s. Now you are riding Red Allen again. I love you always and see you in God’s time. You will never be out of my heart.
To know you is to love you! I grew up with you and your family. You are family! My Aunt Bonnie! Give Thunder a big kiss for me up there in heaven. I miss you sooooo much! Just want to say one more time, I am so sorry for dropping Kevin on his head..lol. I love you! Will see you someday once again!
We have been out of state for the past six weeks and were deeply saddened to hear of Bonnie’s passing from her husband when he came to our door tonight. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.
Bonnie…..you were like a second mother to me and a good friend. I will miss you dearly, but hold you true in my heart. Till we meet again someday…..Thank you for being as wonderful as you were to me. As you always told me at the end of our every conversation, “I love you David” well, “I love you Bonnie”
