I remember Bonnie as a wonderful neighbor on Ridge Street. She was a mother and friend to all of us kids in the neighborhood. We are all married, moved away and have our own families now but I am sure every child around 3rd Street and Ridge Street will remember her as a special person when her name is mentioned. Nancy I am sorry I am just finding out about your moms death and my prayers go out to you and your entire family.

I always remember that Aunt Bonnie had a good outlook on life even when things weren't going her way. She always seemed to express what was good in a given situation. Certainly she will be missed by all who knew her.
