She was and is a beautiful daughter of Heavenly Father and a great friend and cousin to my mother, Pauline. I know there is a great homecoming celebration going on in Heaven right now. I wish O could have been there with family to celebrate her life and memories. May the Balm of Gilead, our Savior Jesus Christ comfort your hearts.
Love and prayers ,

Aunt Bonnie was such a sweet lady. I will always remember the amazing Sunday meals she would cook and have everyone over. Never understood how she did it all. She will be missed.
