Always will be in our hearts
God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you, And whispered, "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Always in our prayers.

I’m sad to see you go. I know you’re going to a beautiful place with many other loved ones though. I’ll never forget our times of sitting at my grandmas chatting away laughing at all the kids. I know grandma sure couldnt wait for you. I’ll see you beautiful angels again one day, until then, RIP Bonnie! I love you ❤️
Condolences to all my family. I’m praying for strength and comfort to be with all of you. I’m very sorry!
