My heart broke today when I heard of Bonnie´s passing. She was such a dynamic lady. Memories of the summer we spent together cleaning the school and of bus driving came flooding back. I wish there was something I could say to heal your pain of loss. Love and prayers.

Our sweet sweet Nona! My boys were lucky for the years we had her. I not only got to learn from her, I got to love on her as an adult! We will forever miss hearing her walk in to say hello, even if just for a couple of seconds! Sending all our love and prayers to Larry, Hope & the kids!

When I went to Maize Middle School as the Principal, Bonnie was the first person to welcome me. Right then I could tell she was a genuine person with a heart of gold for others. Bonnie taught every student she had like they were her own kids, and thats what makes a great teacher. Bonnie was always willing to do what needed to be done to have a successful day! Bonnie will be missed but never forgotten.

When I came to Maize as a teacher, Bonnie was driving a bus, but very very involved with the school district. Later, I brought my children to Maize and Bonnie was my daughter`s teacher. I always cherish her loving and giving nature she will be truly truly missed.
