I’m so very sorry to hear this news. Bonnie was a wonderful lady, my girls and I have great memories of fun times with her and Chuck when we all lived in NC. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this sad time. God bless you all.
To Uncle Chuck and entire family our deepest condolences for your loss Bonnie will be missed . Love Kimberly (Preston) & David Hull
Chuck, my heart just broke when I heard about Bonnie. I remember her best in our Sunday School class. I also remember how worried she was about you with your Knee. I keep a prayer journal and she asked for prayer for you several times. She is in a better place now, but I know that will not replace her being by her side. Jean and I will continue to pray for comfort and peace that only comes from above. We are never far away if there is ever anything that I may do that could be of any help to you..
