    Bonnie had such an amazing spirit. She was always smiling and loving. I know that my Grandfather Jack always spoke of her faith and had fond memories of her growing up in Ohio as a child. She was a wonderful woman and she was loved by so many. May she rest in peace knowing the love of her family and friends will continue. Love, Your Loving Brother Jack and Family
