We're very sorry for your loss. What a special lady Bonnie was! We met her when our mom/wife was at Good Sam's at the same time that Glenn was there. It was so wonderful to become friends with another family member. I'm sure Bonnie is happy to be reunited with her husband and will be watching over family and friends forever.

It's very difficult for me to write this as I can't believe such a strong vibrant woman, who so greatly impacted my life and the life's of so many others has passed. I can't express how sad I am at her loss, but how happy I am that I know she has gone to a peaceful place. I love you all and wish I could be there to hug and kiss you but most of all to support you and tell you what a great family you are and how I know you are strong and will maintain your strength through this trying time.
Love you always,
Kathy
