YEARS OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP MY BEST TO BUDDY AND MIKE. LOVE DUSTY HENSON

DECADES OF FOND MEMORIES I WILL NEVER FORGET.MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO BUDDY AND MIKE.KATHERINE(HENSON)DOPLER.

To a lovely woman, I grew up sitting in the floor listening to your albums. Thanx for having an influence on Country Music and being part of a little girl's childhood song list.

I'm deeply saddened by the loss of Bonnie Owens. She was an indispensable part of Merle Haggard's music, and I love Hag's music more than anything. It wouldn't have been the same without her backup and harmony vocals. Her influence on Hag's songwriting was also invaluable. It's the loss of a great talent and a great person.

I extend my condolences to the entire family.
As a young girl growing up in Bakersfield, I remember Bonnie well. She rented an apartment from my family on Center Street, right behind our house in Bakersfield. Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Fuzzy Owen and several others local country singers and band members would

I never have and never will meet a more dignigied individual than Bonnie. More than the singer, the star, the celebrity, it was the person which most impressed me. She made the lives of those she touched better. May God bless and keep you.

Bonnie, You and I were the self professed King & Queen of ooo's & ah's. We laughted together, we cried together. We sang together & danced together. You were my friend. I will miss and never forget you. All my respect and love to you. You taught me how to be a professional and so much more. Til we sing again, together.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bonnie's family and friends. She will be missed greatly.

Bonnie and Buck are now "Together Again"!! We felt like we knew Bonnie listening to the songs she sang with Merle. Two of our favorites are "Our Hearts Are Holding Hands Across The Miles" and "Just Between The Two of Us". We're thankful she brought us such beautiful music. Bless her family.
