I was double blessed to have a great cousin like Bonnie in my family but even better, a wonderful friend as well. My cousin Bonnie made everyone she ever knew feel very special and unique. It was my privilege to have had her in my life.

To Bonnie's family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Bonnie was a truly remarkable woman. I have never seen anyone adore their grandchildren as much as she did. She loved all of you so very much and was so very proud of each and every one. Her love of family was inspirational. Her face would light up each and every time she shared a special story about her family. I had the honor of working with her as a teacher and in the guidance office at BHS. She had such a wonderful laugh and smile. May God bless you at this difficult time.

by Canon Henry Scott-Holland
Death is nothing at all
It does not count
I have slipped away into the next room
I am I, and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That, we still are
Call me by the old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way
Which you always used
Put no difference in your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together
Smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the trace of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is unbroken continuity
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight ?
I am waiting for you
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well!

To "Auntie Chris"
The loss of a child to a mother is grief beyond measure and something we as mothers are never quite prepared to face. I pray the Holy Spirit will comfort you and replace your grief with joy unspeakable as you look forward to seeing Bonnie again well and whole, laughing and loving.
To Tim, Terri, and Becky,
The loss of a parent is such a sad time, full of regrets of the things you will no longer be able to do together and share. May you also be comforted in the thought that Bonnie is watching over each of you and looking forward to you joining her in the unimaginable happiness she is experiencing.
To Bill "Butch",
The loss of a sister as close as you two were is so sad but something your cousins have also faced. Your dad endured the loss of his brothers and sister also. May you know that Carol, Jo and Candy know what you are going through and draw strength from them and from God to go on.
To all who are also grieving:
Remember that "Because He (Jesus) lives, I can face tomorrow."
My fondest memories are of the many Great Wallet Thanksgiving Reunions. I look forward to having the best possible Wallet reunion in heaven.

I was so sorry to read about Bonnie's death. I was an aide in the Guidance Office and worked with her about 25 years ago. What a great lady she was: happy and funny and just wonderful to be around. Then I had the pleasure of working with Chris at Marshall's. That was truly special to me as well.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. I feel honored to have worked with and gotten to know Bonnie and her family.

Bonnie was 2 years ahead of me at BHS, and she exemplified School Spirit! During a field trip to Kent State, students visited Bonnie's dorm. We looked her up and asked if she'd show us her room. It was a surprise to her, as half a dozen of us high school seniors descended upon her at lunch! That was my first taste of college life.
I married Chuck Hayden, nephew of Izzie Wallet, possibly Bonnie's aunt. I also worked with Bonnie's mom at Marshall's, I believe. Chuck worked there, also, and his Uncle George Hayden. I didn't know the connection at the time! Chuck's dad and uncle were brothers of Isabelle Wallet. Her husband and Cliff may have been brothers.
Chuck passed away in August, l99l, after l0 months of treatment for small cell lung cancer. We were married almost 29 years. I know what the family is going through, and convey my condolences.
I taught and counseled in Barberton for a few years, retiring from Tallmadge in l987. Bonnie and I crossed paths again at a Chamber of Commerce event, just after Chuck's diagnosis. May the Haydens and Wallets be renewing acquaintances and livening up the Heavens above!

There are angels that walk on this earth and one of them was named Bonnie. We worked together in Barberton Guidance - the best location in the nation. I loved going to work everyday - we laughed together, cried together and hung spoons on our faces together. Bonnie - God has blessed me by placing you in my life. Deepest sympathy to Vic and family. May God hold our friend, Bonnie in the Palm of His Hand. I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY.

We have been thinking about you all, daily, for these last two years and we will continue to do so but now with all good memories and wonderful stories of you all. Working with and knowing Bonnie has been one of the treats in our lives along with the opportunity to know so much about the whole family. The grandchildren have, indeed, been beloved by Bonnie along with their mothers and fathers. And to Vic a special hug from us both. With love and prayers for all.

Bonnie was one of those people in your life who will never be replaced. She was my confidante, "partner in crime", and my strength when I needed it. I will never forget our adventures both at work and away. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of her life -- and of the family she allowed me to share. Vic, Tim, Terri & Becki, may you find peace, healing and the ability to live your life the way she did -- to the fullest. I love you all.

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Bonnie's passing. My fondest memories of growing up in Barberton were of summers at Terri and Becki's house, swimming, dancing, doing plays in the garage, all the while my "Ma Bell" tending to her garden and her tan (!), always cheering us on no matter what we were doing. I can only imagine the pain and loss the girls and Tim are feeling, as well as other family and friends. My heart and prayers go out to them.

She was a special lady and all of us are privileged to have known her.

I had the wonderful privilege of growing up with Bonnie. She was my buddy. I have fond memories of her. We learned to whisle together. We sun bathed together and on and on the list grows. I was sitting under the tree when she fell and broke her arm. Over the years our contact was less but I am thankful for her and the fun times we had together. We always said we were kissing cousins. Our families were related way back. Her mom is one of my adopted mom's. She was there for me when my mom had to work. I am sad to hear of her passisng. May God be with each of the family members.
