Franny & Dick Bonnett were neighbors and close friends of the Mosto family in Swarthmore for many years. They were loved so much, and always the life of the party on so many shared occasions! So many moments, so many shared memories! I sincerely send wishes to the Bonnett family in celebrating the vibrant life they led and the contributions they made to everyone who knew them!

Frannie and Dick. Love kept them together for 65+ years and death could not keep them apart for long.

Dick loved to eat and Fran was a great cook.
Now they are seated at a table surrounded by family and friends happy to welcome them home.

We love you and miss you both.
Your sister

Aunt Fran, you were the most generous person I know. Thank you for all of your love. It is heartbreaking that you were unable to enjoy the last year of your life here on earth. I find peace in knowing that you are now free. May God love you, bless you and keep you. You will be missed.
All of our love,
Kelly, Darren, Erin & Joey
