The world is a lesser place now, and I will greatly miss her. What I will remember is her humor, charm, and the fun of just being around her. I remember the RERO training we went through in Va. many years ago; she made that week so much more bearable. Bonnie's light has transcended us, but she will forever be in our hearts. My sincerest condolences to her family.
