She was my grandmother and one of the best friends I had. I spent almost every weekend visiting her and every weekend I learned how to grow and be a better person thanks to her. While I miss her greatly, I am thankful for the times that we had.##imported-begin##Daniel Fox##imported-end##
Bonnie was a 4th cousin I belive to me, and a 3rd to my mother, Ruth Payne (Henley). I remember some of my childhood speding time on Anderson Island and spending time with that side of the family. Bonnie was and always will be a sweet lady. We will miss her.##imported-begin##Alex Payne and the Payne/Henley Family##imported-end##
I enjoyed having Bonnie as a neighbor when we both lived in Idaho. I hold many wonderful memories of her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.##imported-begin##Shar Heinz##imported-end##
Bonnie was truly a beautiful lady, who was loved by us all. She never had a bad word to say about anyone and loved the Lord with her whole mind and soul. I met Bonnie on the island 22yrs ago and we have been friends ever since. I loved to hear her stories about her family and the island that she loved so dearly. I love you Bonnie and will miss your terribly.

I've always been happy to be Bonnie's sister. We have been friends and companions forever. Our wish is and was that we could have lived closer together so we could be "backyard buddies" and spend more time together. We were always wishing for another visit. I miss her so much, even at this distance. I'm sorry that I didn't make it back to visit her again. I'm sure I will see her in heaven. That will be a beautiful day for both of us. She was a wonderful person and a great sister.##imported-begin##Leona Clevenger##imported-end##

I am Judy Smith's sister from Massachusetts. I met Bonnie once at her home on Anderson Island in the late eighties and found her to be a warm and hospitable woman. Please know she will be in our prayers and that we send her family our condolence.##imported-begin##Linda & Francis Heon##imported-end##
I wish I weren't so far away - would like to sit and listen to more stories about Aunt Bonnie. Each of you are in my prayers at this time.

We did not know Bonnie but have the privelage of knowing her brother George. We are very sorry for your loss. Bonnie sounded like a great person to know.##imported-begin##Kim & Kevin##imported-end##
The first time I learned about the concept of agape love was when Bonnie took me to her church on Anderson Island. The memory of that lesson has remained strong with me through the years. Bonnie demonstrated the kind of selfless love for others that Jesus taught. She has a special place in my heart.##imported-begin##Sandra##imported-end##
