I am so sorry to hear of Bonny's passing. I was a childhood friend(we always got in trouble together as kids in East Hampton) We used to dance to gether in her Grandmother kitchen. I remember when she and Tom were first going out, I lived in Moodus at the time. I lost touch and many times have thought about her and Tom and wondered where they were. Please know my prayers are with her family. Nancy (Ingraham) Andrews I can be reached by e-mail [email protected] if you want. I live in Uncasville.
