To June and the rest of the Barton Family. I am so sorry for your recent loss of your daughter and my very good friend Bonnie. She was a beautiful person filled with humor and fun and she stayed so young even though she aged every year.
I know after losing one daughter this is hard for you. Bonnie was a real trooper even to the end. I am sorry I did not hear of her death until last Friday. So I was unable to come to the funeral or the memorial. I will miss her company very much. She was a true friend who always looked at the positive side and made people laugh and forget their troubles for a while. THere is much I can say about Bonnie, but I don't want to take up too much space. I am deeply sorry and know that the memory of her will live on in our hearts. She is with the Lord
and peace and health restored finally to her. May the Lord be glorified. Peace, Love Eden Smith

To June & Mike,
I was so very deeply hurt to hear about Bonnie Bartons death, I cried myself to sleep on Sunday-Monday after I heard about her passing. Bonnie was and is a very dear & a very special and beautiful friend to me, she will be in my heart forever...

To the family of Bonnie Sue, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I lived in Vinton years ago and grew up next door to Bonnie. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
