What a wonderful tribute to Bonnie the funeral service was. I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to see you, Mrs. Adams. I can remember so many fun times at your home when we were growing up. I don't think any of us could ever forget her sideswiping the hearse when she was trying to get her drivers license. The instructor made her get out of the car, Immediately, and go around to the passenger side and get in! Her experience not only caused much laughter, but also scared the daylights out of those of us who hadn't yet taken the test. You mentioned frequently Bonnie's wit and laughter. Did you know she received the honor of "Best Personality" on our senior ballot for the Paseon (our yearbook)? Bonnie was a wonderful person and will be missed dearly by those her were fortunate enough to know her.

Ona, I am so sorry for our loss of Bonnie. She was a dear loving friend. We had so many good times in high school and MKX. I remember all the overnites at your house, you were such a dear mom to us all, thanks. I remember the wedding of she and Westle and have the pictures of it. But so glad she attended the "50" year reunion, we picked her up and had lots of laughs.
My heart felt prayers to you and the family. Judy Webster Mueller (Leawood, Ks.)

I was deeply saddened to hear of Bonnie's death. Bonnie and I attended high school together and were sorority sister's in MKX. She was a lovely person, always so much fun to be around. I am so glad she was able to attend our reunion, and renew old friendships. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Mrs. Adams my heart goes out to you and the family at this very sad, most difficult time. We are never ready to give up one so dear. Cherish the love and memories you have of Bonnie, keep them close. She will always be with you, in your heart. God bless you and your family.
