Dear Greg and family,
I met your mom about four years ago at the gym. We took the same class and I loved seeing her and chatting about books, food and trips. She loved the trips she took to see you.

She always asked me questions about my work as a spiritual director. My dream is/was to grow up to be like Bonnie.

My Dan helped your mom several times at her house. He loved her too.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I hope her presence surrounds you in the days and...

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

My condolences to all who knew her well.
She shared a great deal.

As a fellow member of The Village Chicago, Bonnie was immediately on hand to help, compliment or add interesting information.
I last saw her at a Village Art exhibit
where she most admired my work, wanting to immediately purchase it.
Her lovely smiling face and fun attitude will always be remembered.

Bonnie and I grew up together. We were born two months apart and attended elementary school together.
I remember on our First Communion day my parents were called away unexpectedly during Mass. Bonnie's parents gave me a ride home; my first ride in a Cadillac.
Ruth, her mother, made the very best angel food cake with orange icing.
Most of all I remember Bonnie's kindness to me and so many others. Her goodness and wonderful sense of life was a gift to all.

Bonnie and I met in 1967 at work and stayed friends ever since. Every year we tried a new restaurant for dinner, and we always regretted that we did not write a book about our dinners. I loved Bonnie, considered her one of my best friends and can't believe she is gone. I will miss her and remember her always.

My sincere condolence to the family of Bonnie's. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted and comforts all who mourns" sustain your family during this difficult time Isaiah 61:1,2 with heartfelt sympathy

To Bonnie's family... please accept my deepest condolences and prayers for the peaceful repose of her soul!
I will miss summer nights sitting on her front porch drinking manhattans, I will miss our discussions about books, Film etc etc. I will miss having Bonnie over to my house on the spur of a moment for dinner.... the last time she was over is when I learned she definitely did not like asparagus! However a champagne and sherbet dessert made up for it! What I will miss most was her Joie...
