BONNIE REIFF

As sad as Bonnie's passing was, I have such happy memories of knowing her over many years, starting in fifth grade in Havana, Cuba. She and I would often compete in spelling bees; she was a gracious winner. She had a contagious smile. I can't picture in her in my mind's eye without her smile, often accompanied by a good-natured laugh. She didn't think of herself, but rather of other people of all ages and backgrounds. She was always in services to others, in school, church, everywhere. ...

I remember spelling bees at Cathedral School in Havana where the boys competed against the girls. I was pretty good, but Bonnie usually beat me. I wasn't surprised when I met Bonnie again much later to learn that she had dedicated her life to educating and helping people. Her many friends still think of her often and fondly.

I was just thinking about Bonnie a few days ago. We miss her in our book club. Bonnie was such a lovely person, very kind and compassionate... so sad she passed away at such a young age.

I was in a book club with Bonnie for several years. She was such a lovely and caring friend. We all miss her and wish she had had more time with us. Luv, Jan Mullinix :)

Today I join all members of the extended family of Bonnie Wroth Reiff in celebrating the kind, caring and warm life that she led. I will miss seeing her at the reunions of Ruston Academy where we often exchanged fond memories of our childhood lives in Cuba.
Que descanses en paz mi querida Bonnie.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years. May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Bonnie and I were in a book club together. She was a warm, caring person who had great insight which she shared in her gentle way. My deepest condolences to her family. She loved them so much. She will be missed greatly by us all.

I was in a book club with Bonnie and loved her smile and admired her quiet strength. She had a gentle, caring soul. My deepest condolences to her family. I will miss her.

Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Bonnie. Her smile seems to have lasted from the 1950's, when we were friends in Havana, to the very end. May the memory of her smile motivate all who knew her to show kindness, empathy and sympathy in our dealings with everyone we meet. May she rest in peace after a life well lived.
