Message: Darlyne,Bud,Larry and families, You all know how much Bonnie meant to our family. My summers at the farm, All the times she came to stay with us, her moving in to take care of our dad, and the closeness she shared with Mom are just a few of the times I will never forget. We loved her so much and will miss her terribly. But knowing that she is with God and her brothers and sisters is very comforting. Love you all so much! See you tomorrow!
Love, Debby
