Bonnie and Dean were so kind & dear to the "Hasenauer Clan". Although I wasn't an "original", Bonnie welcomed me right away & we enjoyed the fun times on Wendover & beyond!! She gave me a few 'brownie points' when she knew I was a Mercy grad too!! A sweet lady & I pray the peace of God envelops each family member in this difficult time. Blessings to all!
