    Sorry to hear of Aunt Bonnie’s passing. She will be missed. I remember the trailer that my parents bought together. Sorry I could not make it to the cemetery. Will keep her in my prayers. Take care Barb and Nancy.

    Condolences to your family. I remember your mom from my days as a nurse at St Mary. Nancy was my patient, grandma was also. I lived down the street from you on 11th and State. Bonnie was always a pleasurer to catch up with. May God give you peace.
