BONNIE M. GATES

Dear Gates Family,
We just heard the very sad news, yesterday, of the passing of Bonnie. She had been one of the many wonderful nurses at LGH, for my son Bryan. He battled leukemia & is currently in remission-Thank God!! We will never forget Bonnie for her kindness, caring & compassion. She was an angel on earth, a Godsend. I hope she is smiling down on all of us today. We will never forget her. God be with all of you always.
Sincerely,
Helen & Bryan Waterton

Bonnie, if I could thank you one more time, your thoughtfulness and humor touched me deeply and you will forever remain in my thoughts. My deepest...

Most of all I will miss your wonderful laughter Bonnie. I remember eating handfuls of crunchy cereal with you for "supper" as we rushed out the door to see Hannah do her beautiful solo dance at a variety show at the high school. Your love for your husband, my dear brother Joe, and for your children Bethany, Hannah and Stephen was so endearing. Your wisdom about their needs and wants was so touching and on target. You leave such a legacy of love behind. We are counting on God swooping in to...

Thank you for your time, words of encouragement, love, and hugs. You were a beautiful person. God bless your family and friends.
