Dear Annie, Peter and family,
I wish I had some "words of wisdom" or something more conforting for you to read today. I know that Bonnie will be missed very much by you all, and that it's important to just BE together for now. Tell stories and remember her, grieve in whatever way makes sense to you, and treat yourselves gently.
