This angel made it to Heaven and she is at peace. Thank you for being the best grandmother a girl could evert ask for! I missed you when I didn’t get to see you everyday, now I miss you even more. Love you forever Grammy.

Aunt Bonnie was my Dad's sister, and they were always the closest of their four siblings. She was such a big part of my family's life growing up; she lived with us several times during my childhood, and even when she moved out, she always lived within walking distance of our house. I know there were many, many times my brothers and sister and I ran to her house to escape the wrath of our parents when we got into trouble. Or just went there to b*tch about said parents (God love them). She was our "cool Aunt". We all have so many memories and stories, it would take days to relate them all. Aside from her AWESOME cooking, there are two things that I will always remember most about my Aunt Bonnie. The first was her capacity for hard work; she was definitely not afraid of it - she worked hard her whole life and demanded the same of others. Many times she would put my siblings and I to a task, and we had to do it over again because it wasn't done to her standards. I owe more than a bit of my strong work ethic to her example. The second was her generous heart. My Aunt Bonnie was generous to a fault - she would give you the shirt off her back, and ask nothing in return. If you admired something she had, she'd try to give it to you, or get you one just like it. I have so many things in my house that she's given me - she was amazed that I still had them all these years later. And she was touched when I told her that I'd kept them just because SHE'D given them to me, and were therefore special. We had many, many conversations (and arguments) about the past and present (politics included), about life and death, heaven and hell and everything in-between while she was rehabbing at my house. My sincerest hope and prayer is that she gained some measure of peace before she died. I love you Aunt Bonnie - rest easy, girlfriend, you deserve it.

With heartfelt condolences,
