GUEST BOOK

I didn't know that Bonnie was sick. I learned of her passing today when her Christmas package came back. Bonnie became my friend and my children's 'Grandma Bonnie' in 1999. She is the sweetest woman I have ever met and I will miss her greatly. Though we only spoke a couple times a year she was a wonderful Grandma to my kids all these years. I'm so heartbroken to know that she has passed. Please accept our condolences. Tony and Melissa S'Chevalier

I went to Englewood High school with Bonnie. For years Bonnie, Mr. Greek and I would meet for lunch. Meeting with them was always an uplifting experience. Both were so positive that when I left their company I felt recharged and exhilarated. The same thing happened when I last spoke to Bonnie. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Bonnie was a dear friend. We had many delightful times together. We drove to Huntsville AL. where we visited my son and his family and attended a concert. I was her Weaving teacher. Bonnie was a WONDERFUL LADY. It was a privilege to have her as a friend. LOVE Barbara

Fondly remember the last time I saw Bonnie, a fellow Englewood graduate, 42 years ago when she made a house call to check on my first born. We moved 4 months later and I lost contact but know she will be missed. R.I.P.

She will be so missed. At Christmas, with Ray playing the organ, Bonnie would swoon to the music. She loved her choir, wherever she was. Mary Jordan was one of her dear 'yaya' sisters. They are now together. All the blessing to the family. Patty Nygaard

Bon, dear BON, I will miss you so much. You were always so gracious and sweet to all of us in the Roberts family. Stewart was such a lucky man to have had you as his wife. And we were all so blessed to have you as part of our family.

- Eleanor Roberts, GULF BREEZE, FL

Although our visits with our Florida cousins were rare events, they always created lasting memories. Perhaps because Bonnie Dawn Sally and Cindy are so close to us in age. What a pleasure it was to so recently walk down memory lane with Bonnie and laugh about those occasions. Such a loving, kind cousin, Bonnie will be missed.
