I only got to know sweet Mrs. Bonnie for almost a year. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and a gentle hug for me. She will certainly be missed by her family and friends but we know Jesus has a glorious home waiting for her and for all those who believe. May the Lord bless Mr. Bill and the rest of the Lawson family.
