Justi, Missi, Cindy, Terri: No words can relieve you pain and sorrow. Think of all the love and memories you have shared. Know that I am here. Mom was a good friend, not just a sister-in-law. I know Dad is where he wants to be....with her. Love you all. Aunt Peggy
Bonnie was a friend to all, with kind words of wisdom if you asked; or by leading by example of the way she lived her life.
Her entire life was wrapped around her love for her husband, children, and grandchildren. She realized the importance of enjoying every moment she could with them.
I remember my most precious moment with Bonnie was when her husband was in the hospital (I think maybe knee replacement?)
and while she was at work she was constantly thinking ahead. Her mind was swimming with how she would help him move around, if she should get a lift chair, which kids could HELP and when; all this while she was at work. She was doing her best to stay strong, and doing a very good job of it.
But then, her little dog got loose and lost, and she added to her list of worries and to-dos to go looking for the dog, once she finished work and hospital. When she couldn't find the dog, it was basically the straw that broke the camel's back. When she lost it at work, I knew the dog was a huge part of it-but she was also releasing all that pent up worry and fear over her beloved husband.
I only saw her once a year and I am missing her already. I can only imagine what her husband and children must be feeling and will continue to feel as time goes on.
I pray that God will wrap his arms around you and dry your tears and help you remember ALL the good times with a smile and that the Holy Spirit give you all strength to get through this. Love you Bonnie and Family.
Bonita (this is what I always called her), was such a wonderful, loving person. When I started working at the Title Bureau she took me under her wing and we became fast friends. She loved to share pictures and her adventures she had with her kids and grandkids. She was so proud of all of them and that's all she talked about. She talked about all her road trips with the love of her life Jim and how they liked to do things together. After Bonnie retired I was sort of lost without her. Not long after I also retired and we would get together for lunch or dinner with our other friend Theresa. I'm going to miss her so much. We had planned a trip to the Casino when things with the virus slowed down. I will still go with Theresa and we'll have her there with us. This is not good bye Bonita, it's just "Until we see each other again. RIP my dear friend.
I will miss your visits to Columbus. I am sure Tom was waiting with open arms. I will make sure to take good care of Missi .
Love,
Carolyn Cassady
