My Dear Aunt Bonnie you will be truly missed. I know you are with God now. You had so much faith. You also are reunited with Aunt Dawn and that is where you wanted to be. I love you so very much. I know you did not hear that from you often enough but I know you know it. I am sorry I will not be there to say good bye but Alyssa is graduating college this weekend and I know you would not want me to miss that. I know you will be at her graduation with me smiling down at her. Rest in peace. Love you.
