    Bonnie and my parents lived next door to each other for many years, and Bonnie was always so thoughtful to bring over fruit grown in her garden, including many lemons! Bonnie was a very kind soul and our prayers are with her family. Rest in Peace, Bonnie 💐💕

    Bill and I are sending our deep condolences to all of Bonnie's family and friends. Bonnie has been a wonderful neighbor and friend since she arrived on Sugar Springs Drive! Lots of porch chats, watching out for each other, sharing family stories, dining out, and even going to some auctions. Treats shared and some helpful reminders back and forth...car door open or garage door open...always kind, always helpful. ❤️ Bonnie ❤️

    Bonnie had the amazing presence of mine that when her car caught fire and subsequently her garage, she pulled out her other vehicle so it was not involved in the flames. Bonnie was a wonderful neighbor. She would make special treat bags for our children at Halloween and hand deliver them. At Christmas time she would join us in singing when we came caroling to her door. She has been missed.
