Bonnie and John contributed greatly to some of my best memories of growing up in Manitowoc. Even after 50 plus years Bonnie's bright personality shines on. My heartfelt condolences go to John and his family.

I met Bonnie volunteering at Fr. Carr's. She was my front dest relief person. Occasionally she would bring us lunch from McDonalds, she loved to share. She ordered us colorful volunteer polo shirts to add some color to the Place to be. I will cherish the shirt she ordered for me and will wear it in memory of her always. Deepest sympathy to the family.

We have known John and Bonnie since we and they lived in Appleton. Our son and Luke were best friends all through grade school and high school. They played baseball together (and Bonnie was the coach!) as well as hockey (Go Blades!).
Our condolences go to the Tyson family at this difficult time. Bonnie will be truly missed.

My husband Dale and I lived next door to John and Bonnie 30 years ago. We fell in love with this wonderful family, with their every-present laughter and caring ways. We were a part of each others' lives and will forever be grateful for that time. My sincerest condolences to the whole family.

I did not know Bonnie that well, but what I remember of her, is that she always had a smile on her face and treated everyone equal. She will be very much missed by her good friends and family. Our deepest sympathy to her entire family. R.I.P. Bonnie

If there ever was a woman that could light up a room with her smile, it was Bonnie. She was a friend to all. An enemy to none. A beautiful, loving human being. Please accept my sincere condolences on what must be such profound loss to her family and friends. Forever in my heart.
