I can’t believe she is gone. I’ll still expect to see her out in her yard or driving out of her driveway in her car. I’ll especially miss her when playing spades.

Norbert, Kelsey and Helen, I have spoken to many about the loss of your beautiful and wonderful Bonnie. Everyone says the same words - she was the brilliant pearl of the sea. She was the beach girl. She was the best friend to so many. She was a loving and devoted mother and sister. She was an excellent sailor. The crew will pay honor and tribute to our dear friend with the ringing of eight bells and the laying of roses upon the flow of the ebbing tide and rising moon. She will be remembered with special thanks for a life well lived and the sharing of her boundless love with so many. Rest in eternal peace dear friend until we all sail together again. Love from all of us.

Such a great loss for you and the Tybee community because she was such a huge part of it and is someone everyone loved. I loved seeing both of you, Norbert, when I returned to Savannah. I will always treasure when you both came to Panama City for my retirement and the time you two came to see me work my dog at the seminar I attended in Savannah. My love and prayers for you and for you, Kelsey. I am so sorry for your loss.

- Jacqueline Sauls Royal, Poulsbo, Washington

Norbert, I was stunned this morning to read of Bonnie's passing. I am so sorry. You were truly blessed to have each other for so many years. Your love for and devotion to Bonnie was emphasized to me when we worked together and you were asked why you didn't want to go out with "the boys". Your response, which has stuck with me for all these years was, "I'm not married to the boys." I'm happy that you and Kelsey have each other for comfort.

- Patrick Martin, Richmond Hill, GA

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Bonnie. I was fortunate to have known her from May Howard School. She was such at kind and caring colleague who was always so dedicated to her students. Every year she would find me to give me the clothes that her daughter had out grown because she knew that I as a School Social Worker I would know of children who could use them. It was a joy to run into her in the years after we had both retired. That was every year on St Patrick’s Day at Calhoun Square and often at the many outdoor musical events we are so lucky to have in Savannah. Whenever I saw her, the love she had for her family and friends and her kindness to everyone was always so apparent There will be less joy in our community without her. Rest In Peace, sweet Bonnie. I will play for peace for your family and friends.

- Julie Watson, Savannah , Ga

Bonnie was most assuredly a kind soul who did leave behind lots of love to each of us. She definitely brought joy to others. She and her spirit will be missed by everyone who had the fortune of sharing her time here on earth. May we find comfort and happiness in our fond memories of Sweet Bonnie.

- Karleen and Vincent Grevemberg, SAVANNAH, GA

Bonnie was a huge part of our daughter’s success with her speech device. She made it possible for her to attend a special camp and accompanied her on a trip to Colorado for a national program. She was a major part of her life at May Howard and a huge reason for her happiness in school. Lindsey had severe cerebral palsy and was non verbal. But not in Bonnie’s eyes. She was determined that Lindsey would be able to communicate with others and because of Bonnie’s determination Lindsey was successful. Lindsey passed away in August at 35 years of age and I’m sure she and Bonnie have connected again. Our love and prayers are with you all

- Donna and Jon Hart, Savannah , GA

Dear Norbert, Kelsey and the family. I am so sorry for your loss. It’s been a long time but I will always remember Bonnie’s smile and kind disposition. Please take care of yourselves as I am sure she would want you to do.

I’m just now learning of Bonnie’s passing and my heart goes out to her family and friends. I had the privilege of working with Bonnie at May Howard and observing her love for the students she served. As a teacher, Bonnie was a natural; it was her calling. Always a team player, never an unkind word, always willing to offer support, totally organized, devoted to her students, an unparalleled example of teaching at its best and a blessing to have on staff. It was truly a joy to work with her. At this sad time, my prayer is that the peace of our Lord and Savior will abide with you now and in the days to come. Lillian Akins

Our world has lost such a special person who always had a smile on her face. I met her 35 years ago while working as the Lead for SLPs. She was so helpful & supportive to me as an outsider to the Savannah-Chatham schools. Bonnie was an outstanding clinician who also shared her time and talents with students from Armstrong State University. I was lucky to keep in touch with her over the years when we reconnected at various Tybee events. I will definitely miss her and my heart & prayers go out to Norbert, Kelsey & family.

- Conni Wambold, Savannah, GA

Norbert, I'm deeply saddened to learn of Bonnie's passing. I've been thinking about the time I met here. She was kayaking back behind Little Tybee with a friend and I was kayaking as well. I kept hearing this person talk about Norbert this and Norbert that. And I thought, "There can't be that many Norberts around Tybee" so I asked her if she was talking about you and she was. Such a nice and friendly person and I enjoyed knowing her through the years. May God walk with you in this time of grieving. Sincerely, Geoff

- Geoff Bowden, Savannah, GA

Norbert, Kay, and I were shocked to hear of the passing of your and our beloved Bonnie. What a wonderful person.

With our love and hugs we offer our sincerest condolences. Darryl and Kay Armstrong
