We are proud to call Bonnie and Gordie our good friends! I first got to know Gordie many years ago through the sailing world as we both had Newport sailboats and often raced in the same regattas. One of the best perks of having Gordie as a sailing buddy was getting to know his wonderful wife Bonnie.
This amazing lady touched all of our lives in such a gentle and caring way; for Gordie, as a loving wife, for Brent and Jenny  as a nurturing and caring mother and grandmother to their children, for the many family members who I am sure all have a special place in their hearts for Bonnie, 
and for others of us it was as a dear friend. However it was that she touched our lives, she shared the warmth of her smile and the comfort of her caring and compassionate heart. 
We were fortunate enough to have had Bonnie and Gordie join us for awhile at our winter home in California a year ago last winter. It was wonderful to have been able to have shared that quality time with them and it left us all wanting more. 
And now, today we all struggle with the emotions of our loss; a tomorrow without Bonnie standing beside us, and yet feeling blessed that we were one of the lucky ones whose lives were so gently and lovingly touched by her. 
I think perhaps our 13 year old daughter, Brynn may have expressed this best;
When we told her of the sad news of Bonnie's passing she shared with us the impact our last visit, shortly before Bonnie passed, had on her; How Bonnie, despite her own struggles, was still able to smile and laugh and, as always, show a genuine compassionate interest in our lives and warm our hearts. 
We all continue to bask in her love and in our memories, and we are thankful for having Bonnie, "in both life and death a precious angel", in our lives.
Thank you Bonnie...
Craig, Rose & Brynn Little

Bonnie welcomed me into her home, family and heart with open arms from the moment I met her.  I will forever remember her kind smile, gentle laugh and warm hugs.  She had a wonderful way of making you feel extremely important and that what you did in life, whether it was at work, at home or in school, was a great achievement and you knew that she was proud of you.  She loved to celebrate in your achievements or provide you words of encouragement when you needed it most. 

My deepest sympathy go out to Gord, Brent and Jenny during this very sad time.  Heaven just got a little more brighter because Bonnie is there waiting for us - with her arms wide open.

Bonnie was a lovely lady, kind and sincere with a beautiful smile. and we will miss her very much. We feel privileged to have known her and have fond memories of her from family events.  
Our sincerest condolences to Gordie, Darlene and the family.

Bonnie and I met when my family moved to Howe Street when we were 3. We played in each others' houses, walked or rode our bikes to school together, knew each others' families.  We were very good friends until my family moved away at the end of grade 6.  I met up with her again at the Sir James Douglas School 100th anniversary, and we kept in touch and had one very enjoyable visit together on my last trip to Victoria.  A message from her in May was upbeat and she never said a word about her health problems.  It was a shock to know that she is gone, and I'm grateful to her daughter, Jenny, for letting me know. 
Bonnie spoke so fondly of her family, who were the most important part of her life, and I send them my sincere sympathy.

we are both devastated at the passing of our dear,longtime friend Bonnie. We have many happy memories spent with her and vacationing together.The world is a sadder place with her passing.

My deepest sympathies to all Bonnie's family.  She was such a sweetheart.  Darlene, do you remember our trip to Quebec City with Bonnie and Gordie, and someone, drinking out of the horse fountain? We had such a good time on that trip and a lot of laughs.

Bonnie was a kind and gentle soul and a pleasure to call a friend.  She will certainly be missed.

I can't recall a time when Bonnie didn't have a smile on her face.  Always kind and patient, my favorite memory of Bonnie was of her teaching me how to dive while we were vacationing in Spain.  
Her passing is such a loss for  everyone who knew her.  She will be missed.

i have many fond memories of Bonnie as a young girl, when we stayed at their house. in later years there was many family get togethers. i will always remember what a loving wonderful person she was. Thank you for being such a loving cousin.

To my dear sister and best friend ~ Thank you for always being there for me over the years ~ I love you very much and will miss you every day!
