We will miss you tremendously, 4-wheeling, river rafting, 4th of July, New Year’s Eve and all the other fun things we did together will not be the same. We will think of you often and try to take care of Wayne for you. Love you dearly.

We will miss seeing you Bonnie when we come home to Montana to visit. You were a fabulous aunt and always so sweet to me growing up. Rest in peace, we love you. You won’t be forgotten.
Donna Lamb says
You were the best sister ever. Your talents were beyond compare. You could cook, sew, decorate and had so many other admirable qualities. I think of you everyday. How wonderful to know that you are now with the Lord for all eternity, talking with Mom, Dad, Grandma and Sister Happy. You will be missed and loved forever.

Dear Loved One’s of Bonnie. Although no words can really help to ease the loss of Bonnie that you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. May the peace that comes from all the wonderful memories of love you share about Bonnie bring comfort to you now and in the days ahead. May you take comfort in knowing that your angel Bonnie is watching over you. Love, Evy Burris Sass

I had the pleasure of knowing and being a part of Bonnie and Wayne’s family for the past 5 years or so. I have been very blessed each time I shared a feast at their home at Thanksgiving and Christmas with all of the family. I will always cherish her and the love she poured forth to all who came into her presence. I enjoyed her humor and I loved to tease her as well. Her beauty inside and out will always be present to those who knew her. May the beautiful memories of Bonnie comfort you, Wayne, as you continue your life’s journey. Love and Hugs to all of the family.
Shirley Battershell says
Gone but never forgotten. My precious, ornery little sister “PUNKIE”. We enjoyed a special bond especially after you moved back to the Clancy area.
Such a generous person and so loving and supportive of your family and step families.
Your bravery and faith in the face of all the dire diagnoses was more than admireable. Thank GOD for Wayne and his loving care. Till we meet again! XXXOOO
Terry Wareham says
Have been waiting for the “right” words, but there are no “right” words. Wayne and all the rest of Bonnie’s family, although it was an easy job, thank you for loving my sister. Shirley referred to Bonnie as Punkie, a nickname that I don’t remember knowing. I think that Spunkie would have been more descriptive of her. She had a way of keeping us on our toes, entering into every activity, making people feel welcome, and always was the first one to come to the rescue if she sensed a need. I will love her forever, always miss her, and always hold her truthfulness as an example.
