All Condolences -

Jack and Bonnie were “always” the first we saw when we returned to the Sliver Dollar in the fall. They were “always” the last we saw when we returned home in the spring.

One special time I remember was while we were visiting with Paula and Ken with our grandchildren Grace and Sean, Bonnie was there and asked if they''d like a ride on a 4-wheeler. Of course they did and had a fabulous time! She was always such a joy to be around. She''ll be missed, but with great memories!

Bonnie was always a smiling face at the reunions! Her love was contagious! My son, Nick, so enjoyed talking to her about her shooting competitions the last time she was at the reunion. She was starting to get forgetful then, and kept calling him her buddy. Nick didn''t mind He Loved hearing all her stories. She will be missed. My heart & prayers to the family.
