We were so sorry to hear of Bonnie’s death. We had so much fun together and were planning a trip to see her in April. She was wonderful to our son while he was at A & M and became a part of our family. She willl be truly missed. Our heartfelt sympathy to her family.
Bonnie was the best friend that Mama, Mary Cecil, could ask for. My family will miss her gentle spirit and sense of humor.
Bonnie was a special friend. I will always remember fondly our trips to Houston. Also, she was a worthy opponent at the Hospice Bridge at Pebble Creek Country Club. We will remember you and you will be sorely missed.
Ms. Bonnie was a special person and truly one of my favorite people. I admired her enthusiasm, strength, compassion and sense of humor. Though our conversations were brief, it was always a pleasure seeing her. I will miss her warm smile and the way she said my name. Her presence brought me comfort in the passing of my grandmother, whom she reminded me of so much. She will be missed greatly.
My memories of Bonnie include good conversation over many cups of coffee, some of the best emails and jokes I’ve ever received, and a wonderful photo of some of her coffee drinking buddies at the mall. My condolences to her family. She will truly be missed.
