Just yesterday I was thinking about Bonnie. I worked with her back in the 80's at the BC VA. You could always count on Bonnie. She was good people, always honest and if you didn't want to hear the truth from her you shouldn't ask her for her opinion. A very good person and a friend to the end.

Rest well Bonnie.
