Bonnie's family sends a special thank you and their appreciation to Bonnie MacRae, a true friend who went above and beyond to help Bonnie in any and every way possible. She was Bonnie's guardian angel and Bonnie loved her dearly. They send special appreciation as well to the Northside Homemakers. They would also like to thank the staff and residents of the Northside Community Guest Home for their care and compassion throughout Bonnie's stay. She was fortunate to have made so many kind and loving friends among the staff and residents.
