Only being a 21yr old girl, 18 when i met Bonnie it would seem to be strange that i saw so much of myself in her. But dispite her age thats how old i belive she was.Although her wisdom was wize.she told me two things i take to heart, that whatever God may plan,life is what you make it. And listen to th e stories of your loved ones that have lived a long life its amazing what you will learn. my name is Samantha Sargent better known as Carol Stanga's granddaughter.my heart goes out to all of you and Jolli remember I told you even though shes gone her family is yours too. Goodby and bless you Bonnie I'll see you agin someday.

I enjoyed caring for Bonnie in Hospice and learned a lot of things from her. She was quite a fighter and I am sure that contributed to her lasting much longer than most with her disease.She loved her family and talked about them often at our visits and showed many pictures of them. She shared some of her family history, which was interesting. May she be at peace knowing she has left quite a mark in a lot of people's life's.

I love you Mom. I am forever grateful for everything in our lives that brought us to that place of complete love. It was an honor to be with you that last week and to hold your hand, wipe your brow, and kiss your face as you traveled that final road to freedom from all pain. You are my forever angel now and will live in my heart always....until we meet again. Debbie
