Monika and family, Thinking of you all with love during these difficult days. What a priceless daughter you have been for your Mom, always there for her and showing your love.
So sorry to hear of your moms passing,I am sure she will be missed so very much by everyone. She had such a great personality, you couldn't help but like her the minute you met her. Blessings to your whole family.
Erling , Monika and family, Bonnie was a wonderful lady always with a smile and a kind word. She will be missed, May the Lords blessings be with you!
Monika, Erling, and Family - You won't remember me, but you know others from our family. My deepest sympathies. Your Mom and Dad were such special people in my and our lives. For the entire time they rented from my parents, to my Mom having to sternly tell your father to get off the roof and get to the hospital before he missed Monkia being born, to the endless years of friendship Bonnie (and your Dad) provided to me personally can never be repaid or FORGOTTEN. GOD has a special place in heaven for your Mom and Dad. Be as wonderful as they were, they will never be forgotten. Thank you for sharing them. Bob Waddell II
Monika, Erling & families, We are sorry to hear of Bonnie's passing. She was a wonderful lady. We have so many memories of her from watching soccer, to taking Sage to swim lessons and visiting with my dad. Also visit with her when my grandparents lived across the street in Roach Addition. May you find peace in the loving memories you all have made and shared with her. She loved all of you so much. The Jackson's & The Schott's.
Our condolences
