John, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember seeing the two of you together! If you saw one of you.. You would see the other. Bonnie was your other half I know. Bonnie also was a wonderful mom, grandmother, and great grandmother. She had a twinkle in her eye for all of you! Love Moe & Joe Geracitano
