My sympathy to Sergil and all the family in the loss of your loved one Bonnie. I have special memories of Bonnie when she was my neighbor in town at Marshall. I was just a little girl and she was a few years older. We played dolls and had the most fun that summer. We went to school together at Marshall, but she was a few grades ahead of me. We also met up at decoration time at Canaan Cemetery and had good visits together. I will miss her. Prayers for your comfort in the days ahead. Marinda and Rick Holliman

I am so very sorry to read this…I didn’t know or I would have been there for Bonnie’s funeral…I am so sorry…this just makes me so sad. Bonnie and her whole family were very special to me. We used to sing together with her dad at church. I have the best memories of Bonnie…she was always, without fail, kind and sweet to everyone. And she raised her daughters to be just like her…always putting others first. I believe that Bonnie truly lived how a Christian should live and served as an example of how we all should live our lives. My deepest condolences to Bonnie’s family…and my apologies for not being there.

I’m very sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my prayers. I have so many great memories of times spent with Bonnie when we were growing up together in Church and later when she and Sergal married and Wilber and I married. She was my Maid of Honor. We spent a lot of time together back then and I will never forget what a great friend she was.
