I was so sorry to read of Bonnie's passing this morning. I first met Bonnie as high school freshman & she became a good friend. After high school are paths took different turns and we lost touch. Our most recent meeting was at our last High School Reunion. She was a really good person and I am sure a very good mother & grandmother to you all. May you keep all of these good memories of her with you always. Ruth
