Mrs. Bonnie Hammonds was such a wonderful woman! I was honored to have known her for over 40 years. She and her family were so close, and what I remember more than anything else about Ms. Bonnie is how she LOVED all her family, and would do anything in the world for them. She was so very special. I am blessed to have known her and call her a friend. May God bless all her family and those who love her.
