Words can not express my shock and sadness at hearing of Bonnie's passing. i just heard yesterday. Bonnie taught me so much about the foster care program when we worked together at DFY. We went on home visits and we just talked about everything. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by so many. RIP my friend.

Dear Bonnie, I'm going to miss you so much. We've shared Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving and Jack's Fourth of July birthday parties for over 30 or more years. How many times did we go to the ballet and concerts at SPAC?
You were the friend I asked to help me pick out my wedding dress. We had such fun that day and wound up with a very lovely dress that was very special to me as you will always be.

I want you to know I'm still drinking your Coureg coffee that you got me as a Christmas present this year. You got me tons of it and I thank you every morning when I make my coffee.

You also were so helpful in raising my Twins. Many's the time I was frustrated and totally unable to know how to deal with them and you gave me wise and careful advice. And you did it with such good humor and those sparkling big, brown eyes of yours would light up and we'd laugh and chuckle.

I'm so glad we had Christmas together this year and I'm sorry you missed my gift card for you that I left under the tree because for some reason I wrote a long note to tell you what a good and dear friend you were and how much I enjoyed and treasured my times with you over the years and what fun we'd have when you and Ann came to visit me in Florida this year. So I'm telling you now, and wherever you are, Bonnie, I know it's a good place to be, so don't forget to save me a place nearby. Just remember, there better be flowers.

I'll think of you often and keep in mind all the good times we've had and how important you are to me. Goodbye, Bonnie. 'Till we meet again. All my love, Lenore

Bonnie knew my brother Josh and I before we were born (over 32 years ago). She loved to tell me stories of what my parents, John and Lenore, were like before they fell in love and got married. She was at all my childhood birthday parties helping my parents organize party games and trying to keep all of the kids from going too crazy. She used to take Josh and I christmas present shopping so that we could surprise our parents with gifts on Christmas morning. She spent almost every July 4th, Thanksgiving and Christmas with our family for almost as far back as I can remember. For Christmas she always gave me gift cards to Borders or Barnes and Noble so I could buy cookbooks. I have bought many many cookbooks because of her thoughtfulness. A couple of summers ago, she taught me how to make her legendary peach and blueberry kuchen in her own kitchen. I am so glad we got to spend that time together. I last saw her on Christmas Day this past December. I drove her back to my parents house from Jack's Oyster House where we had had Christmas dinner. I remember making sure she got to her car okay and giving her a big hug. I never expected that to be the last hug. She will be missed very much.

I will miss you very much Aunt Bons. I have so many wonderful memories of time we spent together and things we did as family. You will always be remembered for inviting Andy and me to stay with you his first christmas. He even took his first steps with you !!! You always called me Bug and that made me feel so special and so loved. I know you spent much of your time working with troubled youth, I know if you could have fixed everyone on your caseload you would have. I know all of your cats loved you as you did them. You never treated anyone unkindly, although you did speak your mind. :):):) May you be at peace today and always and know that you made a difference in this crazy world. I will miss you very much, but I know that death is a part of life, and you had a pretty good run of it. Love you Aunt Bons. Gail,Andy,& Bruce

I was so shocked like many others to hear of Bonnies passing.I was one of her TOPS PALS and spent many Thursday nights with her and dinner.She sure was a great lady and were all going to miss her very much. I have to tell this little story, my name at the time was Murray, and she came into the meeting one night and said to me Im going to get a kitten, I said great, but you know Birdie isnt going to like that, and she said well he will have to get used to it.The next week she came and said I have my kitten and I am going to name him Murray.I said oh your going to name your cat after me, how nice, and she right away said no, its M U R R Y a JEWISH cat I said okay and we both had such a laugh, The last I seen Bonnie was at my wedding last September and Im so glad that she could come.I wil always think of her and what a nice friend she was. God Bless You Bonnie.

Bonnie was part of my childhood, teen years and I hoped she would always be there whenever I managed to visit my home town, Albany. When I did visit— we always spent time together. We talked about our lives, family and just about anything that came up. Last summer when I had my 70th birthday, I was determined to share the occasion with Cousin Bonnie. She joined us in the farmhouse we rented in Hudson and reminded us that we’re a family with ties that endure. I loved Bonnie and will miss her so very much.

Long before they started to call it "mentoring", Bonnie understood and shared what this wet-behind-the ears new caseworker needed to know. Her passion and compassion for children and families, wisdom, openess and genuine concern will never be forgotten. Rest easy, Bonnie.

I can never forget the one person who has been known by me for 30 some odd years. Bonnie was my aftercare worker for the New York State Division for Youth, and my friend even after I was done with the DFY. She stuck by me til this day and will for the rest of my life. Bonnie may be gone from us physicaly, but lives on in all our hearts and minds, and always will. She was and is a beautiful person, never to have a bad thing to say about a person. She loved her cats too. The also shall miss her. Though I didn't say it often or enough, Bonnie I loved you for being my friend. Rest in Peace my friend!

I am so very saddened to learn of Bonnie's passing.I can't imagine my meetings without her. My sympathies to her family and friends.
Since I am in FLorida for the winter, I feel a greater loss to not be able to celebrate her life with those who love her. Her stories about her cats her wonderful. She was so glad that her older cat finally came out from under the bed to accept her new kitten. Ann Chatterton

The world is a little sadder and a little less interesting without Bonnie. We had some very interesting experiences together in our time with DFY. She was unique in our hearts.

Bonnie was my classmate and close friend at college, and my Senior Year room-mate at Simmons. I'm so sad that we weren't able to see one another one last time before she passed on. My prayers are with Bonnie's family and all those who have loved her over the years.
