Mike,Mary & Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Bonnie. I remember Bonnie growing up and we had some great times together. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and was always such a happy person. I know how difficult it is for you at this time and I wish there were words that I could say that would help in your sadness but I know there are none. Just remember that Bonnie will always be with you...She is now a beautiful angel flying above looking down at you all. She will fly over you often and spread her happiness to you all. If there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to call.
Love,
Tammy Picard-Vallee
