Ahmed and family - I am saddened to learn of Bonnie's passing. We had many fun adventures over the years - she was always up for a trip to seek out yard sale treasures or just go to dinner. I know you will miss her greatly. You were always the .most important treasure in her life.

Our sympathy to Ahmed and his family for the loss of his mom. I remember the many conversations we had during the years when Ahmed was running with Mark and the guys during junior high, high school and college. She had lots of patience with all of the pranks. May she rest in peace.

I live in London and work internationally for Limolink. I met Bonnie fewer times than I would have liked but we worked together often over the phone. When I visited the office she always hugged and kissed me. Bonnie was a dedicated colleague even when she wasnt feeling her best. Always up beat and enthusiastic, she was a joy to work along side. I am both honoured and humbled to have known Bonnie. A truly lovely lady. . I was so sorry when she retired from our team and I am choked that she has passed. My thoughts and prayers are with those who cherished her most.

Ahmed, I'm so sorry you have lost your dear mother Bonnie. She was a member of our congregation at Central for many years. Bonnie was a good friend and always a joy to talk with. .

My heartfelt condolences to Ahmed and the rest of the family. Bonnie was incredible in so many ways. Not only did she not mind us teasing Ahmed at times she was an active participant in the good natured fun. She never was upset at us for the regular TP jobs that would cover those huge trees in the front yard throughout high school. I think she enjoyed making Ahmed clean it up. She also gave me my first job and made sure I knew how to do things the right way (and may have looked the other way when I accidently bumped the on switch to the roast beef). Thru the years she was always smiling and happy to see us. She raised a good kid and when it comes down to it that is what makes life a success. She will be missed.

I'm deeply sorry to hear of Bonnie's passing. We worked at LimoLink together & she was always funny unless you got on her bad side (not that I did - lol).
It was a pleasure knowing her and working with her.
Deepest sympathy.
