Bonnie Jean Gaunt

Dear Lauren and Gene:
Our hearts are sad, but also rejoice as we learn of the death of your dear Mom. We were privileged to have gotten to know both of your parents when you were both growing up and living in Michigan. They were a great example of zeal for God and His word; and we're thankful for their example. May the promises of God's Kingdom and the blessings to all be of special comfort to both of you at this time. We look forward to the time when there will be no more death or...

Dear Gene and Lauren, We are so sorry for your loss. Mothers are very special gifts, and we are sure you will miss your dear Mother. Way back in 1975, your parents were very instrumental in establishing our love for the Lord, His truth and His children. We hope that the love of God's promises which your parents shared with you will bring you comfort at this time. "And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy...

Our lives are spiritually richer because we have/had a sister in Christ named Bonnie Gaunt. Her devotion, her zeal, her humility, and her willingness to "think outside the box" were an inspiring example to us. Our years together in the Jackson Bible Students have left us with many precious memories of Bonnie, Ralph, and Lauren and Gene. You have all left your mark upon who we are today. Praise be to God! Precious in His sight is the death of His saints.

Dear Gene and Lauren, We especially enjoyed your mother's soulful harmonica music. When she played a hymn, it was always very touching. We will miss her. Suzanne and Richard Doctor

Bonnie Gaunt was a great woman of God. Her knowledge of God, thirst for understanding and passionate desire to share her new found wisdom was an important inspiration in my young life. She left behind an important legacy in the lives of so many. She is safely in the arms of the Lord I am sure.

I was just thinking about her the other day.. How sad, but sweet to know she will now meet the Creator which she so deeply pondered. Read some of her writings that I bought at a convention in Jackson, MI. Clearly she was a rare scholar, with a pleasant Christ-like demeanor. I know she was a charitable person who helped all kinds of people that the Lord brought across her path. She apparently led a rich life, glorifying the Lord.

Dear Gene and Lauren, Your mom had a profound impact on our lives. Her depth of scholarship combined with her quiet and unassuming nature were a treasure. We will miss her and want to extend our condolences and sympathy to both of you. Love, Paul and Joyce Lagno

Thanking the Lord for her legacy of wisdom and grace-

I am sadden to learn Bonnie had passed away. She was a wonderful person and a wonderful author. I read several of her books. Condolences to her family and her companion. She is resting with the Lord now.
