    So sorry for your loss, Bonnie always had such a bubbly and happy personality she will be deeply missed.
    Although we know she is in a better place without pain or strife it’s always those who are left behind who suffer most at this time. May you find strength and peace in your memories and comfort from others who share theirs with you.
    God Bless

    Bonnie was such a wonderful person that I have proudly known for years. She was a great mother, ,grandmother, wife, daughter,sister-in-law and loved her family dearly. She was an animal lover, too. Whenever my husband and I would have lunch at Cracker Barrell, we were always so happy when she was our waitress. She came to the table with a smile and I would immediately ask Bonnie about her family. She would love to talk about her precious grandchildren and what a joy they were to her. Bonnie, enjoy walking the streets of gold and singing with the Angels. Bonnie, you will be missed and I am glad I had the pleasure of knowing you for many years.

    Bonnie was our favorite waitress for over 15 years at Cracker Barrel. She always had a smile and worked so hard. We talked about our first grandsons that were born on the same day in May! Our sympathy to the family. I know you will miss her, as we will too.
