Martha and family, I am very sorry for your loss. A few months before my mother passed (Aunt Teresa), Bonnie and my mom went out to lunch together. She enjoyed seeing Bonnie and catching up.
You and your family are in my prayers.

Nicole
So sorry to hear about your mother. I was your mom and grandma plumber for many years. Your mom wasn´t just a customer. She was a friend. She´ll be sadly missed by many. She often gave my wife soaps or lotions when I would go to her house on a service call. You are in our prayers. God bless you.

Nicole and family, although we have never met, I feel like I know you through your mom Ms Bonnie.
Even as I´m shedding tears for your loss, I´m honored to remember one of the best people I ever met.
I delivered for UPS about 13/14 years in Hazleton and Bonnie was a wonderfully kind lady that I got to know through the many years.
Always always wonderful to see at the end of one of my long days. Very kind and always had a moment or two to chat with me.
I always told her, she reminded me of my mom and she enjoyed that.
I was just thinking about her the other day. She will be missed dearly!!
Prayers for you all
Stephanie
