Dear Family,
We all were very saddened to learn of Dick's death, although we knew how sick he'd been, you never give up hope.
I have to apologize for not being able to come to viewing or the funeral. We just brought Dad home this past Sunday from over 30 day stay at Adena hospital and Physical Rehab Facility. He was a very sick man and we came very close to losing him. He is now home and recuperating well, but Neal and I are sharing spending time with him when Home Helpers aren't there.
Please know you all were and are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless!
RIP Dick...say Hi to the rest of the Bonner clan when you see them in Heaven!

Dear Family,
I was a lifelong buddy of Jim. We worked together at Mead Containers. I secretly sent him a birthday card at our yrs. at Mead. After he retired I continued to send them but let him know that I was his secret sender. We had so many good times at work. He was well thought of. I am sorry to read about Betty also.
While passing thru Jamestown I would stop and chat.
I will treasure having shared time with both of your parents.
May God give you strength and comfort.
