The memories we made in the early 70’s have stayed in the front of my mind. I can’t think about 6 Flags without thinking of you and grinning! I’ll meet you again on the other side!
I’ve known her all of my life. She was like an aunt to me and it’s heartbreaking that I can’t be there to say my final goodbyes.
Thank you for everything you ever did for me, Aunt Bonnie.
I first met Bonnie around 50 years ago. She was,my good friend’s fiance, Larry Wagner who I had known known since Jr High.
Over the years we stayed in touch. When Larry got sick she was there making sure he got good treatment. When Larry died she was there. She was there when I lost my wife to Alzheimer’s.
I would call her every few months. Set up a lunch date. I hadn’t called her lately. Told myself I’d do it tomorrow. Then the text from my daughter came. Guess I always thought Bonnie would be there
