Dearest Bonnie and family,
Bonnie I have not known you a year but in that time I know there was never as a devoted wife as you. Your loyalty and love was forever showing. Not only the care you have to Steven but to everyone in the nursing home that you came in contact with. We will all miss your ever smiling face. I pray that you will have the strength that you have shown others so freely for yourself. Stay strong and remember alles guttes Mit hertz felt immer.
