Dave, Tom, Justin
Received your message this morning, Dave. Very sorry to hear of Bonny's passing. Had hopes that maybe this past year had brought her home but... I know she loved her home, loved you Dave and always loved nothing more than being a mom and gramma. Hope you all are healing with time. Missing her and thinking of you all.
With Love, Lisa

Bonny and I were friends way back in school. I used to call her "Ringo" after Ringo Starr. She was the fun one - I was the quiet one. I'm so sorry to read of her passing - she was much, much too young. She'll always be with you all in your memories. Wendy Stiffler Joyce
