Grandma,
There is so much to say and never enough time to get it all out. She was my soul mate in more ways than one. We share the same birth date and I was born at the same time as the house number she was in at the time. We could always feel when something was off or if we just needed to talk. She was one of my best friends and I always knew that she would answer my phone calls no matter where I was in the world. She was the funniest person to talk to in person and on the phone. She always told it like it was and didn't hold back. She would tell me to get my crap together in no uncertain terms and then proceed to make us both laugh by telling some of the raunchiest jokes. She was hilarious to talk to and I could tell her anything and everything without judgement. 
Grandma went out of her way to come to all of my functions as a child, always contacted me on holidays and birthdays, and took everything in stride. She never treated me any differently than anyone else, always let me come and hangout with her, told me all kinds of stories, and never asked for anything in return. 
She loved to shop, mostly over the phone with QVC and for clothes with the loudest colors and prints. She had the biggest personality and heart. My heart hurts for her but I am happy that she is finally at peace. 
Until we see each other again Grandma,
Love
Meagen

She was an amazing grandmother! One of the most open and caring individuals in my life. I could tell her anything on my mind and heart and she would listen unconditionally. She always accepted me for who I am and I will always remember her support. 

She always made me laugh. I think her sense of humor was the best aspect of her personality. She ALWAYS made me laugh no matter what. When I was sad she would lift me up and when I was happy she would share the joy. She had a special way of turning a bad day into a funny perception of it. 

I’m really going to miss her voice and how I always felt so much more happier after talking to her. She’d always scream into her phone “AUGUSTIN!” when I was being whiny about a problem, and she’d set me correct with the solution in a direct but loving way. I always felt her advice was warranted with a side of her special language spice!

I know she is probably enjoying life on the other side flirting with Elvis and dancing to Tina Turner. She was the biggest music lover and life of the party. I will always remember our countless conversations about how much she loved Elvis and would dance like crazy when she was younger to his music. I thought she was so fascinating with her history and I loved hearing her stories of being a teenager in the 1950s. 

I can’t wait to see her again in Heaven. 

Grandma, I Love you forever. 

Always,
Augie

Condolence to my grandson, Anthony, and all of her family. 
Bonnie and I shared a son, Troy. Her by birth and me by marriage to our daughter , Alena, and by love. 
I think we both were surprised to have a friendship to last a lifetime. She loved the cold weather and I the hot.  She would say  come to Fort Wayne and I would say back come to TX. I miss her and always will. 
Friends are forever. 
Peace and love to Scott and the family,

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.  My friendship with Bonnie goes back many years and she will always remain in my heart!  We enjoyed many laughs not only at Pepsi but even in the last few weeks.  I am heart broken to hear the news but I know she believed and she is with our Lord now!  I will see you again my friend!  Rejoice now in the Lords presence!

Forever in my heart, 
Libby
