I didn’t know her, but she looks like she was fun-loving. The free world will surely miss her, as well as, her family and friends.
What a wonderful young lady. She was beautiful outside as well as inside. I am sure she is missed by many. I would have been honored to have met her.
Bonnie….You are so sadly missed. Those early days of your life, I waited on the steps waiting for your mom and dad to arrive and I’d wisp you away. I couldn’t wait to grab my precious niece.
As you grew older, you were so creative, adventurous and had your mind pretty we’ll set to accomplish all that you set out to do and you always succeeded in all that you did.
I miss you so very much my Sweet Angel.
You rest peacefully now with fellow Battle Buddies and your beloved Fur Babies. Bonnie….my sweet, beautiful niece, I miss you so much, I can still hear your laughter and it makes me smile ❤️❤️??❤️❤️
