Misty,
We were so sorry to learn of your mother's death. She was such a wonderful mother and friend to all who knew her. I always was pleased to see her because she beamed when she told us the latest about you. We know that you will miss her but know that there are others around to whom you may turn. William, Kimberly, and I are three who counted her as a true friend.
With deepest sympathy,
Kimberly, Jean and William Beckerdite

Misty,
It was a very nice service for your Mom last night. She is gone but her smile and memories will always be with anyone who knew her. We wouldn't go to Mike's unless we knew she was working.
We remember the times we were with your Mom at all Cheerleading competitions. And of course in your Mom's opinion the judges were always bias against the best group there.
Just hang in there(we know you will) and remember all the good times you two had together. Our prayers and thoughts with you and the family.
Love,
Susan and Doug Foltz

Roseanne,
I think it is wonderful that you took such good care of Bonnie in her last days. That is true love. I know that Bonnie loved you very much and that her children appreciate what a loving and kind sister and aunt you are.
Please know that I have good memories of Bonnie. She was a lot of fun. We had a good time when we all got together at Claudia and Barry's house. I know my sister and brother-in-law were there to greet Bonnie in Heaven. They're all together now rehashing the old times.
You're in our thoughts and prayers.
Cathy (Dulaney) Bowen and Ervin Dulaney

Misty,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the days of playing AAU basketball and our mothers going on trips with us to watch us play. Ms. Bonnie and my mother kept us laughing and supported us no matter what was going on during that time. I will always remember the smile your mom always had on her face and even though I had not seen her since we graduated from high school, I will always remember those days. You are in my family's prayers and stay strong.

We got to know Bonnie when she worked at "Mike's" and when she left she took that beautiful smile and sense of humor with her ... it was nice to see her again when she was here visiting and stopped by Mikes (we happened to be there). Your family is in our prayers. Bonnie will forever remain in the hearts of those that knew her. Love,

Misty, I was in total disbelief when Karla told me about your Mom. Your Mom and I had not seen each other in a while. When we did see each other, I will always remember the look on her face and her comment when I walked through the door. She was an angel with a great sense of humor and surely loved you and your BB. Now, she will share her humor with other angels. God will give you the strength to carry you through this most difficult time. My prayers are with you and your family.
Much Love,
Mama Rhone

Misti -
You bet your Momma loved you so much and you can bet that there is no other love that will ever be stronger than a mom and her child. Take your strength from that love. Tammy and I lost our Mom in May , 09 so we do know your pain. Please call or come if there is anything we can do to ease your sorrow. We all had so much fun. You and Tammy doing cheerleading and your Mom would spoil you with the best of the best. Rememeber when your Mom and our Mom were both so proud of you playing BB. You were always her Angel - now she is yours.
You have and always will make her proud. We love you, gal and she does too.

May God bless Bonnie's family. I graduated from Parksley with her and will always cherish the many fun times we had together. She was always interested in others and making sure everyone was happy and having a good time. She was a great friend.

My husband and I always looked forward to seeing Bonnie at Mike's. Her wonderful smile, funny stories and genuine friendliness made us feel at home and in the company of someone who truly enjoyed us as friends....not just customers. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family and other friends.
