We know you no longer live with pain and you now joyfully sing and dance with a choir of angels. For that, we also rejoice, but we surely miss your presence in our lives. You will always dance in our hearts and your memory will forever be a priceless treasure. The glow of your loving spirit will always warm our souls. Our angel, Bonnie, spread those wings and fly home into our hearts. Joyce and Judi, your sisters and friends.
