TO MY SECOND FAMILY,
I HAVE LOVED PAPA JOHN AND MA FROM THE FIRST DAY I EVER MET THEM, 34 YEARS AGO. I MET THEM SHORTLY AFTER THE LOSS OF MY MOTHER. IT WAS LIKE GOD SENT THEM TO ME. THEY WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME DURING THICK AND THIN. I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE LOVED THEM ANY MORE THAN IF THEY WERE MY OWN. I GREATLY SHARE IN YOUR LOSS. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU. BIRDIE AND JINNY, I MISS ALL OUR GOOD TIMES TOGETHER. WE SURE HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME TIMES. I LOVE YOU ALL.
LOVE ALWAYS
YOUR (ADOPTED) SISTER,
BONNIE
