My beautiful sweet Nanny. Words cannot express how much I love you. Dance in the sky with all the beautiful Angels. Squeeze my momma extra tight for me. I will miss you always. Love, Mindyâ¤ï¸
I will miss our talks Aunt Bonnie I love you very much and you will be missed by many! But oh what a reunion you must be having with all our other loved ones!!
How do I start? Bonnie was one in a million. WE disagreed at times but we always remained friends. WE had so many common interests mainly 2 redheaded boys. Her first great grandson and her first great great,grandson! WE kept in touch even about the price of eggs! She was a card and if she was having a “bad day” I would give her a call and before long we were usually both laughing about something totally stupid! We talked about “goodies” to eat and I passed recipes along for them to try. Two weeks ago was the first in a good while that I had seen her and even though my hair has gone white she saw me and hugged me with her “death grip hug”! WE had a very good visit and laughed and joked about a lot. WE even got in a few laughs about dying. she said that she wouldn’t be around long and I told her that she was NOT allowed to leave yet because we had a lot more phone calls to make. Over the years we grew closer and shared many ideas and thoughts of major sizes. We ALWAYS ended our calls with her saying tell Ron I love him and I love you too. I did the same with her since we both had a “RON” for a husband. RIP my friend and keep vigil watch on the ones you are leaving behind! God speed Bonnie! Your cloud is ready!
