BONNIE HOLLAND

Thinking of you today Gary. Still remember what fun we had at Roz Bob n Zach´s party. Seems like yesterday. Take good care of yourself. Hugs n love

Dear Gary. I remember so fondly meeting your dear Lady at Roz´s birthday party. Loved talking with her n seeing you again. Take good care of you. Hugs n love dear one

I like to tell you about so many things Bonnie did to protect the health and safety of craftspeople, but each agreement for production of a publication or activity included the provision that she and the foundation remained anonymous. She was dedicated to her colleagues without any interest in personal aggrandizement. A rare and beautiful person.

Dear Gary thinking of you today and remember Roz and Bob n Zach’s party. I loved meeting your lovely gifted lady . Know you’re thinking about Roz and Bob now. Hate!!!! Cancer. Take good care of yourself dear one. Hugs n love carol

It’s hard to believe a year has passed since we lost Bonnie. I have never met anyone who was kinder or more concerned about the welfare of artists. A gifted artist herself, she anonymously supported projects that would benefit others, especially artists working in the textile arts. I feel privileged to have known her as a friend.

To Bonnie's Family,
I met Bonnie about a year ago when I joined the support group at Hope Connections. She is the one I remember the most, because of her kindness, concern, and genuine interest in how I was doing with my recent surgery and cancer prognosis. She was always so helpful with information, and I really appreciate her love for life, her arts, her family, her community. Thank you Bonnie for being a Shining Light to me. I will miss you and thank you for your inspiration.

I first met Bonnie thru Francoise Yohalem and took a painting on silk course from her at Glen Echo. For some reason I think it was around the time of her son's Bar Mitzvah. Bonnie also contributed in Courage Unmasked by turning a radiation mask into a work of art that was auctioned to grant money for people with Head and Neck cancer. I always enjoyed talking to Bonnie and appreciated her creative abilities.She will be missed. Cookie Kerxton
