It's still hard to imagine that Bonnie is not here. Her smile, her laugh and the way she lit up a room will always be remembered. I worked with her during her brief time at Macys in CT and have such wonderful memories of her. She touched the hearts if all that knew her. My condolences to her family and friends. Will always miss her.

Bonnie was the most wonderful caregiver to our girls, Katherine and Liz from when they were babies through the school years when we lived in Glastonbury. We even planned all our vacation around hers! So very sad to hear of her passing.

Since I have little to no way of contacting anyone about the passing of Bonnie, I would like to send my sincere condolences to all of you that were my family for over 15 years. I hope that you are all able to find peace in happy and beautiful memories.
Love, The Taco Kid, Sarah Hayes

Bonnie lit up a room with her bright eyes and "Hazel the Witch" imitations. I have fond memories of her and growing up with JJJ&A. Love you all. Jennifer Rockwell, France

So very sorry to learn of Bonnie's passing. We are so sad. We had many great times, and trips together. We watched our kids grow up together. Bonnie will always be in our hearts. Another angel to watch over her family.
God Bless and thanks for being in my life.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family and especially with Janet. I know that Bonnie was like a Mom to you and it is hard enough to say good bye to your Mom but to a sister also - stay strong my friend!

Bonnie and I were friends for almost 31 years. She was by far the most generous person I ever met. She always had a kind word for everyone. She was a devoted childcare provider and always went beyond what was expected. I treasure all our silly adventures and escapades and will miss her for a very long time.
