I only recently learned of the death of your mother—you have my sincerest condolences. I remember well visiting with Bonnie and Paul, Jr. and all of the children. Bonnie was always so kind, and though she had so many to look after, she opened her home and welcomed my parents and the four of us girls—summer cousins from Georgetown, Texas. Visiting the Stevens’s was the highlight of our year. Bonnie will be greatly missed.

So sorry for your loss Uncle Jack and family. I loved Aunt Bonnie so much and will miss her dearly. :( I will always remember when she came home for the family reunion in Capron. She always had a silly joke to tell.and we always told one back. :) Will always remember her laugh, smile and that deep Arkansas accent she had. LOL! She would tell us that we had an accent not her. :) Just wish I had gone to see her when I was in Eurika, Arkansas a few days a go I feel bad not going. She is in a better place now and with daddy (Bob) and the rest of her brothers and sisters. May God have his arms around you all and heal your pain and sorrows. HE recieved a sweet and beautiful angel to look down on you. May you all be in my thoughts and prayers May God bless you at this time and need. Again, my condolences. Love Angie RIP Aunt Bonnie <3
