I feel blessed to have known Bonnie. She was truly a gift from God. Due to her work, thousands of people have learned how to deal with their disabilities and their pain.

Her light still shines.....meeting her years ago in Charlotte, N.C. was a memory I'll never forget. I still have copies of her books, tapes, etc. The world benefited greatly from her life.
My condolences to family and friends.
