David so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. I have known your family all my life. Your Mom was a beautiful person and a good friend to all of the Teats and Stewarts. We were all like one big family down that little road to Jimmy Creek. She was the one that stopped to tell me that I had lost a good friend when Linda Roberts was killed in the car crash.. I will always remember her and my sister Lavivian fixing our meals in that old lunchroom as well as rideing the little bus out to the Mozart store. Where she dropped me off and then went on to pick up the Roberts kids. God Bless all of you Louise and Carter Conrad
She was such a sweet person! I remember the many lunches she fixed for us at Rural Special. David, I am so sorry for your loss.... my prayers go out to you and your family.
Bonnie will be missed just as Bill is . They were such a wonderful couple to know . I have fond memories of her from school and also from our visits in the beauty shop . My heart goes out to all of her family and other friends.
My heartfelt prayers and sympathy to the family of sweet Bonnie. I first met Bonnie when I cared for her mom in her home. Bonnie and Bill welcomed me with open arms and we became great friends. Bonnie and Bill both were kind and generous to their loved ones and to all those around them. Bonnie and Bill left a wonderful legacy behind and will never be forgotten. I am sure Bill was waiting with open arms as Bonnie entered God's kingdom. She will be missed.
So sorry for your loss. I remember my Momma (Novalene Barnes) telling stories of their childhood. Hold on to the memories!
David, Sorrry to hear about the loss of your mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Bonnie was a very special lady and we're so sorry for your loss. Thinking of Bonnie makes me smile. I loved seeing her with Levi, never has there been a more devoted Grandma. I feel very blessed to have known Bonnie and she will be missed by many. Our prayers are with you all.
