Mrs.Bonner was a staple in my childhood, growing up in the neighborhood we used to always get in trouble for walking in the creek behind her house. We laughed, cried,and played and it was all love. I had hopes of her making a dress for my potential wedding. I am grateful she was able to enjoy a long life. She will be missed prayers to her family -Love Constance Kenney and the Kenney family Loves You All and Wishes You Well

Red was such a beautiful soul, full of love and grace. I so enjoyed having her as a Sunday School teacher. She gave of her gifts unselfishly over the many years. She will certainly be missed. Sending love and deepest sympathy to Bossie, Bonnie, and the entire family.

Mrs. Red was family. I grew up under her at WPC and knew “Charlie” well. When I grew up she would make my beautiful wedding dress. The entire Green family took my family in.
