I miss BB so much. When we lost our son at such an early age, Bonnie was such a strong support for me at work. Even after we both moved on from TMT she continued to remember the date and would reach out.  Bonnie was like that to so many people even tho her health issues were great. I hope she is peaceful and pain free in Heaven with our Maker. Love to you my friend, rest easy🩷🩷🩷

Bonnie BFF. What joy, fun and laughter we shared together for so many years. I was so lucky to have met you when we worked at HVSH. Bonnie was a fabulous RN with a passion for caring and she had the brightest mind to provide the best care.  Being an RN is a hard profession and she made it seem easy even when she was taxed.  No one was cared  for better then when Bonnie was their Nurse.  
We enjoyed many outings for shopping and eating and as I look around my house I have so many gifts from Bonnie and a story to go with each one.
I MISS YOU Bonnie. Heaven has received a treasure and as I look at the stars a night I will see your twinkle.

How fitting that Bonnie was called to Heaven on all Saints Day!  

I worked with Bonnie  at TMT.  She was always so kind , compassionate and helpful.  She spoke of her family often and shared family memories.  She will be remembered. Prayers to all her family and friends may we find comfort that she is is Gods hands and no more suffering. 
RIP Bonnie
Love ,

I worked with Patty at a home care agency. We connected on many levels. Our personalities, sense of humor, and need for perfection were in sync. Bonnie became my Angel on Earth when we lost our 36 y/o son to a heart condition. She helped me through every day at work and remembered every anniversary of Brandon’s death. She was so compassionate not only with me but with others in the office and with the patients she tended to. Bonnie was an amazing friend and nurse. She spoke so highly and lovingly of her family and she celebrated with us their every achievement. We were family to her. We lost touch when we moved to Grand Rapids as our lives went in different directions. But I ALWAYS loved our special friendship. And now I know why Bonnie had been on my mind for the last few months. I was always going to call her. I wish I had. Fly free of your health issues now my friend. I will always miss you. RIP BB.

Bonnie will always be a cherished friend in my heart.  We met 30 years ago while working at Huron Valley Hospital, and we became dear friends right away.  She truly is the best nurse I know. So compassionate and giving to all!  A true Florence Nightingale.  Over the past 30 years Bonnie taught me so many important life lessons.  How not to worry so much, have faith, God will always provide, money is not important, parenting advice, and how to handle being diagnosed with cancer.  Bonnie never complained.  She always had the faith of Job and she always kept fighting!  She shared with me a few weeks ago that she was not afraid to go to Heaven and  that she had led a very full and blessed life but, she was not ready to go as she loved her family so very much.  As I began to cry, she said, "no cry babies".  Then our most recent text she said, "not yet".  As I cry now, a flood of memories of our fun times together over come me.  Oh, how I will miss my dear, treasured friend Bonnie.  The last lesson she taught me was how to pass to Heaven with faith, no fear, and GRACE.
