Even though the years had separated us, Bonnie was like a second mom to me. I always knew I had a second home when I needed it. Like Rich just said, she was truly a happy person and always had a smile on her face. I have no excuse for letting the time pass without keeping in touch, but I hold my memories dear to my heart and they bring a smile to my face.
