Wiley, Wiley & Jodi,

My heart and thoughts are with you during this time. Having worked with Bonnie for almost 4 years, there will be a large hole in the office with her gone. I will miss her smile, her wit, and her outstanding sense of humor. I know she is at peace and will rest comfortably while waiting for her family to one day be reunited with her. Love to you all,

Deb

Dear Wiley and Family, I know your loss is so painful right now. I wish I could take your hurt away. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I was only 10 or 11 when I met Bonnie. I loved her from the very beginning. She always treated me grown-up. She bought me my first pair of "fish-net hose & garter, then tought me how to put them on. Thanks to Bonnie, I was cool.
Love & Prayers to All, Linda
