Thank you!
So sorry for your loss
Auntie Bonnie, I will miss coming out to see you and listening to all your interesting stories but I will forever hold them and you in my heart.
So many memories of Bonnie and Paul and myself having lunch together my first year here at the Secretary of State office. You are all in my prayers.

Dear Chris, Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayer during this difficult time. Your Mom was a very special lady & will be greatly missed
Great cousin, could talk about a lot of things, miss the conversations. Bonnie is in a better place now for eternity. Her pain and suffering is over.
“Death Leaves A Heartache No One Can Heal, Love Leaves A Memory No One Can Steal.” Bonnie I will never forget you and the memories We made and the Time We Spent Together. You were a Best Friend, Co-Worker and My Special Dinner Partner.
I am so happy to be related to Bonnie and to also call her friend. She touched many with her humor, smile and quick wit and also her faith. Thank you Bonnie for praying me through my single years and your prayers for a date and husband for me. You had the O’Brien and Lynn family history to share with us. You mailed me a cassette of my mom Katie’s voice after she died. You will always have a special place in my heart and i am smiling now thinking of you! Glad you are in heaven as you predicted before your September birthday.
Bonnie had a kind heart and will be missed. I worked with her for many years at the State Library. My sincerest condolences to the family. Barbara Reading, retired State Librarian
Bonnie was a great neighbor. The Berendzen family grew up with the Weiss family on Tanner Bridge Road. Such fond memories. Bonnie will be missed.
Well, dear Bonnie, Thank you for your time on this earth and for sharing so much knowledge with me. I will miss you as you have been my “Saturday morning date” with our regular phone calls for several years now. You taught me so much as you learned a lot from reading and “selective television watching” of a lot of educational programs. Peace to you! Love, one of your cousins, M.L.
Bonnie was a great co-worker. She taught me so much when I first started as a tech at the State Library. I had worked in libraries before bu the fiscal side of my job and the state paperwork was all new. Bonnie was supportive, kind and made me laugh on a regular basis. Sincere condolences to her close friends and family.
♥️ I wish I had known Bonnie better. All of my memories of her are so loving and pure. She was so kind. My dad named me after Katie ♥️
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I cut Bonnie’s hair for several years . Always such a kind lady.
