Earl & Eric will be turning 10 yrs old this month, they are excited about it but they expressed the deep hurt of not having you here with them this yr. I told them that you will be here in spirit you would not miss it for the world.That made them feel alot better. They look at your urn everyday before school and at bedtime and tell you how much they love and miss you.

Well Bonnie(mom), It has been a yr since you went away but it still feels like yesterday. We all still miss you as much as we did a yr ago. They are taking your guestbook offline in a few days so I thought I would write one last message. This world has not been the same without you this past yr, but we know you had to go . We love you very much and you will forever dwell in our hearts. Until we are all together again.
Love You,
Mary(D-IN-LAW),Jackie(SON)

Revonda L. Shaffer was an awesome grandmother to me. She may have been a couple hundred miles away most of the time but she always called me, sent me cards and presents, and came to see me at my most important milestones. When I was young she treated me as one of her own but she spoiled me like most grandmother's do. As a child she always enjoyed seeing me smile, laugh, and play. As I grew older and found a way to get to her and see her it was even better. We watched movies, laughed, and ate her wonderful home-cooked meals. She taught me things that made me into a woman with pride and dignity. She also treated my husband as if he were her own grandson and loved us dearly. When she found out that we had her first and only great-granddaughter her heart swelled with love and her voice filled with excitement. When we took our daughter to see her it was if she was a gift to Grandma. This woman loved her family with the deepest passion and we love her back. We will miss her everyday until it is time to see her again.

BONNIE WAS MY MOTHER-IN-LAW, I WAS HER CAREGIVER WHILE SHE WAS FIGHTING THIS AWFUL DISEASE. BUT AS WE ALL KNEW HER WELL THAT IS THAT SHE WAS A FIGHTER. SHE FOUGHT VERY HARD. SHE TOLD ME 2 WKS BEFORE SHE DIED THAT SHE WAS TIRED. I DID NOT WANT HER TO GIVE UP BECAUSE I JUST COULD NOT IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT HER. NOW I KNOW THAT WAS KINDA SELFISH OF ME, SHE WAS READY TO GO HOME AND BE AT PEACE. I AM STILL FIGHTING MYSELF TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT IT WAS HER TIME TO GO.I DO NOT THINK THERE WAS ANYONE AS LUCKY AS I WAS TO BE A PART OF HER LIFE. I HAVE BEEN A PART OF HER SINCE I WAS ABOUT 2YRS OLD OR YOUNGER. 1ST SHE WAS MY AUNT BONNIE AND SHE ALWAYS WAS THERE FOR ME ALL MY LIFE. I MET HER SON JACKIE (EARL SR.) WE HAD HER 1 AND ONLY GRANDAUGHTER. SO I GOT EVEN MORE BLESSED BY HAVING HER AS MY MOTHER-IN-LAW AND THEN THE GRANDMOTHER OF ALL MY CHILDREN. I FEEL WE WERE DESTIN TO BE A PART OF EACH OTHERS LIVES FOR SO LONG, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN ETERNITY. I HAVE SO MANY SPECIAL MEMORIES OF HER EVEN WHEN I LOOK AT MY CHILDREN I KNOW THAT SHE WILL ALWAYS BE HERE WATCHING OVER ALL OF US. SHE WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SPIRITED AND WARM HEARTED PERSON THAT I HAVE EVER MET. I LOVE HER VERY DEEPLY AND WILL MISS HER MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAy. MY VERY LAST SPECIAL MEMMORY OF HER IS WHEN I WAS CARING FOR HER ,I TOOK HER TO THE BEACH FRONT IN EASTERN SHORE VA. WHERE SHE LIVED AT THE TIME.EVERY EVENING WE WOULD GO THERE HAVE LONG TALKS ,WATCH THE SUN GO DOWN AND HAVE MILKSHAKES. MY DEAR,SWEET BONNIE I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT SUN GO DOWN WITH A MILKSHAKE AND HAVE LONG TALKS WITH YOU. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. TILL WE SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN IN HEAVEN, I'LL ALWAYS BE THINKING OF YOU.
LOVE YOU.
REST IN PEACE

Bonnie always treated me with kindness since I was a small child. She always made me feel like I was important and special and for that I will be forever grateful. My fond memories of her will live with me forever.

To all the Shaffer family, I'm sorry to here about your loss. Bonnie was my dad sister. I hadn't seen her in many years but I do remember her when I was young, she was always very sweet and funny, she always made you feel welcome whenever you visited her. God Bless her.

Aunt Bonnie was always a very special person to me. I use to visit her in hillside court when i was about twelve , she always knew how to make you laugh and feel right at home.She made me feel as if my father was present, because they were so much alike in character.Im sorry I didnt see her more as I got older,before she passed away.
