I would also like to thank everyone who paid tribute to my mom Bonnie Ruth. It was evident by the number of people who attended her funeral, how loved she really is. My brothers and I were blessed to have had such a wonderful, caring, loving, and very intelligent mom. To me, she is an inspiration of courage and strength. I always told her that if there was a choice in heaven before you were born, of parents, then I definitely chose her and for very good reason...she was the best!!!

I love you always and forever mommy, I will miss you muchly :), however, I know you will certainly live in our hearts for all eternity. Like Dad always says to you and us, "You are the sunshine of my...." and then you or he would say ... "life"
LOVE,
your daughter :) xoxoxo

While my Dad and our family are suffering terribly with the loss of our matriarch Bonnie Ruth Friedman, we do take some solace that my mom is no longer in pain and she touched so many people. I want to personally thank everyone who came and paid tribute to my beloved mother. Bonnie always knew how to throw a great party, a celebration of her life and her accomplishments. I will always love you mom and as I promised you on Memorial day I will always look out for the family in the same manner you had done over the last 37 years. RIP Mommy I will love you forever and ever.

Love,

Rob
