I was so sorry to hear of Bonnies passing. I worked with her at Grand Haven Community Education. She was an advocate for all students and for young children. A beautiful soul that I had the honor to learn from. May she rest in peace

When I was Director of Community Education in Grand Haven Bonnie was an excellent grant writer and secured several grants for our program. She also assisted in our Alternative Education Program.
Our paths didn´t cross in later years, but I am pleased that Bonnie accomplished her life motto of leaving a
legacy.... she truly did.
My sympathy to Bonnie´s family. Don Heilig
