Read MoreI was very sorry to hear about Miss Mathew's passing so young. I'd like to offer my condolences to her family. She was my teacher at Hubbard in the early 70's and exuded strength and confidence. She was one of the reasons I majored in Physical education. It sounds like her giving nature continued her entire life. God bless you and your family.
Thank you Bonnie!

I had Miss Mayhew in the 70's at Hubbard High School and I adored her. She gave me confidence to do things I thought I couldn't do. I think she made a difference in a lot of her students lives. Not many like her any more. Her qualities of warmth and open heart will always be remembered and appreciated.

Bonnie was my coach for boys bowling. When no one else wanted us she made the 1972 boys bowling team feel special.
My partner and I finished high in the City Championships that year.
Bonnie.....thanks for the memories.

I remember she took the whole to team to Cary, for an over night. Had the greatest time. I'm writing my condenses because I was speaking to my 15 year old daughter and she plays...

Another angel is looking down on us now smiling. I had Ms. Mayhew as a teacher while she was at Hubbard High School. She was kind, caring, and tough.

The loss of my best friend, Bonnie, has been one of the hardest experiences that I have ever had to go through. Bonnie was my adventure buddy who I shared so many experiences with and that I have so many wonderful memories of. Her loss has been very hard to recover from. My prayers are with her wonderful family and Sally. Bonnie will always live in my heart and soul until I am reunited with her in heaven.

My heart and prayers go out to Bonnie's very special friend, Sally, her special friends Jeff and Pic and to the entire Mayhew family.
I didn't know Bonnie all that well but I know she was loved by all who knew her.
I'm sure she is looking down, smiling and saying: I watching all of you and will continue to be with you but my Lord called and I had to leave.
