Bonnie made my childhood special at our savior! She has always been a favorite part of return trips home to see mom and knowing she was waiting for me on Sunday with that smile and a killer hug!

I grew up, like so many children, in Sunday school at Our Savior and have fond memories of seeing Bonnie with her welcoming smile every week.
Love to all of her family and friends.
Take care.
