To Ona Bonsell and family,
Just remember that your dad has gone on to glory and is walking on the streets of gold along side our Savior Jesus Christ. You don't have to worry because your dad is free to spread his wings. You have the memories to carry with you throughout this life here on earth. Just know that you will see each other again on the other side. Shed no more tears, because he's having a GRAND OLD TIME. This is a celebration for your dad.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time.
