Bonnie was a wonderful friend and colleague at Woodcroft School while I worked with her and the children. I'm sure she is in Heaven reading to all the "little angels". Thinking of you, bless you, Rod, Ian and Jamie. Sincerely, Betty Baran

Bonnie had a bubbly personality when I knew her. She was kind and \I will always remember how she helped me with grade seven teacher resources. She was kind to me and she will be missed.

Bonnie was beloved by my son as the librarian at Garneau. I will always remember the "Bonnie's Books" segment of school assemblies with fondness. My deepest sympathies on her passing.

My deepest, heartfelt sympathy to all of Bonnie's beloved family members and friends. She truly was a very kind, bright light. That incandescent smile of hers had the capacity to warm everyone in her midst. We shared a similar taste in fiction and enjoyed many great talks about books. She was a tremendous asset to Woodcroft School's students, staff, parents and community. On vacation in Iceland when I received the heartbreaking news, I lit a candle for Bonnie in a beautiful, hilltop church and continued to think about her while seated on a volcanic beach with dazzling, sunlit iceberg crystals scattered across the black velvet sand. Too soon. Too soon.

Sincere condolences at this very sad time. Bonnie was such a delight to work with at Garneau School and I will miss her very much. May your many memories of happier times be a comfort to you.

Bonnie was a tireless member of the Child Haven Dinner committee. She worked so very hard coordinating the auction. I remember her sparkling at meetings - eager to tell of new donations. And then when the dinner came, she laid everything out with the greatest of care. Perhaps it was a metaphor for how she lived her life - with sparkle and with great caring. We will miss you Bonnie.

I first met Bonnie in the Peace movement where she was a leader in Edmontonians for a Non-Nuclear Future (ENUUF) which met at the Unitarian Church. We were so blessed when she decided to join the Church. We have all been enriched by her in so many ways. Every reading she did at our services was spell binding. She helped many of us on our spiritual paths with dreamwork and learning to walk a labyrinth. And how are we to go on without your loving hugs, your beautiful smile and your contagious laughter?

Rod, Jamie and Ian, I send my deepest sympathy for your loss and will know that you all have special memories of Bonnie, your wife and Mom.
Yes, I also have many fond memories of "The Mothers' and Daughters'" attending the symphony, going for tea...or maybe wine for the Mothers'. Our Woodcroft group did have fun together, lots of spontaneous get togethers, lots of memories.
Bonnie your beautiful smile will be in our hearts forever.
With Love,

Bonnie's warmth and humour contributed greatly to the special community that staff, parents and children know as Garneau School . She will be missed. My family is so sorry for your loss.

Our deepest condolences to Rod, Jamie, Ian and the rest of the family and friends. Bonnie was always fun to be around and had a smile for everyone.
I remember fondly the trips to the symphony and out for tea afterwards with our daughters when they were little and we all lived in Woodcroft.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My sympathies to Bonnie's family at this time. Bonnie was a joy to be around - her love for books and her zest for life were inspiring. On behalf of the staff at Belgravia School, we were surprised and saddened to hear of Bonnie's passing; our thoughts go out to her family and friends.

My sincere sympathy to Bonnie's family at this time. Not only did she inspire a love of reading in my son, she showed him how to share the gift of words with others. It was an honour to stay in touch over her contributions to the library in Atwima Apemanim and to see the impact of her generosity.
August 16, 2014
Devastating! We are a small community at Atwima Apemanim in Ghana and our small library has Bonnie's books. Thanks so much Bonnie! You will forever be remembered by the boys and girls who read due to your generosity.

I am shocked and so sad to hear of Bonnie's passing. I was looking forward to seeing her at work in a few weeks. Although I didn't know her well, we had many pleasant conversations and I thought very highly of her. I am so sorry for your loss.

Bonnie was a remarkable wife, mom, sister, daughter, aunt, sister-in-law, niece, cousin, friend and colleague. She cared deeply for everyone and was loved by many. I personally will remember her generous heart, smile, hugs, love for her family and love of books. In whatever way you knew Bonnie (Mrs. Kyle), treasure your memories. Strive to emulate her. Be a little kinder, love more deeply, be a better person for having known her. I had the honour of being her sister-in-law for 42 years. I love you and will miss you forever!

My Bonnie, my first and oldest friend, I miss you so much. I will try to live the rest of my days, trying to be as nice, as kind, as you. And to slow down, to see the grace and joy in every day like you did. I love you, my twin.

My deepest condolences, Kyle family. Bonnie was a great second mom to me, and the girls in the theatre, cake, and tea gang from Woodcroft when we were little. You could always count on a true, honest, and witty critic from Mrs. Kyle. I will always remember her with great fondness.

I treasure my relationship with Bonnie! Her heart was always full of love, and she embraced life with joy and enthusiasm. Her love of books was known to all, and her knowledge and joy was eagerly shared with those around her. Bonnie's positive outlook made the world a better place, and I will strive to carry that forward.

Bonnie, you were a gentle spirit with a big heart and I was blessed to have you in my life. Radiance and love shone from your smile, your eyes and your laugh. You have touched everyone you've met with your loving heart. This is what made you a truly remarkable woman and how I will alway remember you. I love you, miss you and will smile when I think of you. Be at peace my friend.
