Bonnie rode with me when we both worked at Bourns in Ames Iowa. She spoke lovingly of Angie and still can remember her pride when she (Angie) was picked to sing with "Up with People." I am truly sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person.

I was so shocked to hear of Bonnie's death. I remember staying with her when we were in grade school and playing at the old school house near her home. I am so glad I got to see her at the class reunion in 2002. She was 1 year behind me in school, but in 4th/5th grade we were good friends.
My deepest sympathy to Bonnie's family.

I just heard about the death of my cousin Bonnie. Her father, my Uncle Duff, was the older brother of my mother, Clara Ahrens Marlow. Bonnie was one year ahead of me in school, and we had lots of fun playing "school" when we were little girls. I am so very sorry to hear this.
