I worked with Bonnie at Styles Ahead back in the 80’s. I have not seen her in many years. RIP Bonnie your struggle is done!
Rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Sharon, Paul, Bill, Sharon, John, Christine, Denise, family and friends. .I’m sorry to read of Bonnie’s passing. The Lovely family lived across the street from us in the Barclay Hills neighborhood. We had many fun times running around the neighborhood and getting into trouble ( sometimes). Our families spent time boating and going to the lake together, as well as touring Kelloggs Cereal in Battle Creek back in the day, among other outings. We went to school together and her husband was in my classes. We lost touch through the years, but did connect during some of her most painful and tragic times in her life. I hope you are at peace and reunited with loved ones. Rest in peace, Bonnie.
Bonnie, I miss you my sister. You cared deeply for your family and you were always willing to get involved be it good or bad. I hope that you are happy in heaven with your cabin in the woods. Say hello to mom, Butch, Mandy, Brian, and now Rick. Love you
