Not sure what to say?

Nothing can prepare the heart for the pain felt upon losing a wonderful
friend. Bonnie was the heart of our
John Adams High School (Class of 62) Reunions, one of the best story tellers I have ever known and a fabulous cook! Everyone loved being
around her. Mike and I will miss
her beautiful Christmas cards, and
those impromptu telephone calls which were such a joy! Our love and sympathy to Vic, the children and grandchildren.
Forever and Always...

To Vic, Jennifer, and Jason. I was so sorry to learn about Bonnie. She was such a caring, giving person, and so much fun to be around. I regret not staying in touch all these years. I am remarried, and living in Florida right now, or I would want to share this time with you. I hope you are all managing ok. so sorry to hear the news.

i was so sorry to hear of Bonnies passing. After reading the many letters and the tribute to her in the paper.........what a beautiful fragrance she left behind. So many lives touched with generosity and kindness, and what lasing friendships she made. It seems as if she wrapped her arms around all that came within her circle and seemed to embrace life with great joy. I can see she will be missed. She lived near me as a young child and her bedroom was filled with wonderful adventures...

Bonnie (Mrs. Peters) was my ever patient, loving, and caring piano teacher for many years. Although, as stated in her obituary, piano teacher is just a small part of what she really was. She always listened, loved, and never got mad if you didn't practice. She became a wonderful friend to myself and our family. The last memory I have is when I ran into her, unexepectedly, at Houlihans, while visiting my parents. She was with her family, including her grandaughter Lucy. She seemed so in love...

We are so sorry to hear of Bonnie's passing. She was without a doubt the warmest person we've had the pleasure of spending time with (and fun times they were). Bonnie certainly lived a life to be celebrated. She will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bonnie was more of a friend of both of my sisters,than myself, but I have fond memories of her. My strongest memory is of going to her house once, when we were children, and she had a huge box of dress-up clothes from her grandmother. It included gowns, huge hats and scads of evening gloves. We all thought we were really glamourous! We all went to McKinley and Adams and lived in the same neighborhood, growing up.Allan was in my classes, and your dad Fred was my dads friend and accountant. The...

Dear Vic and Family,

Please accept my sincere condolences on Bonnie's passing. What a wonderful woman and what great memories we all shared. Hope the healing comes quickly. I was just back there three week ago to bury my father, so I can relate to your feelings right now. My prayers are with you.

Victor,

Our thoughts are with you and your family. We have never met, but Larry thinks he met you once.
We are Larry and Lyne Nye in Fresno, Calif. Larry is the son of your first cousin Ralph Nye, also living in Calif. Ralph is the son of Bertha Pieters and Wilbert Gail Nye.

The Peters family is in my thoughts and prayers at this time of great loss.

Bonnie was an awesome piano teacher for sure; thus, she had the patients of Job to put up with my playing for a year.

Also I remember Bonnie's patients in putting up with young roudy carfulls of swim team kids when she had to take me and her son (friend) Jason to Michiana Marlin swim practice along with other swimmers in the neighborhood so many times a week. She never complained about all the time...
