  3. fargo ndI am so sad to hear of Bonnies passing. We worked together for about 15 years at North Dakota
    Grain Inspection. She was so much fun. She was beautiful inside and out and hand one of the most beautiful voices. I remember her always singing. She use to tell the best stories too. I had the pleasure of meeting her niece Jackie too. We both lived in the same building so every once in awhile I would get to see Bonnie when she came for a visit.

  5. My Sympathy to Bonnie’s Family and Friends. I had the priviledge of meeting Bonnie at ManerCare in December and she was so full of life, I can’t believe she’s passed on. She loved family, her cat, and reading. She was always optimistic and upbeat and made others feel better. May she rest in peace.

I know how much you both loved her. our paths crossed a few times, and she only spoke of both of you with much love and affection, and I know that went both ways.

    Char, Jim and all of Bonnies family:
    I was so surprized and sad when I heard of Bonnies passing. She looked so well when I saw her in ManorCare when my Mom was there. We had a few visits throughout that time and of course, she still had that contagious laugh of hers which always got me in stitches. She was a loving person and will be missed. May God fold his arms around her to welcome her to a better life. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at such a difficult time.
