I was getting ready for our annual Race for the Place meetup, sent Bonnie a text message and it came back.  Thought I had the phone number wrong and went online to check...and that's how this sad, sad news hit. The last time we spoke we were trying to get together for lunch and she said she'd get back to me. Yours Truly in Beachwood was our favorite meetup spot and hoped we could celebrate its reopening.
What I do know is I will never forget Bonnie's love of her 3 guys (Bonnie never failed to be the proud Mom and Wife and relate their accomplishments; along with our fun memories of Benjamin and Sam visiting my office and playing while we worked!!), our friendship over many, many years, her love of life, and most of all her spirit, sense of humor and smile. So many special memories.
Rest in Peace my Friend.  I will be running with your picture next to my heart in this year's Race for the Place. I will miss you

So sad to here about Bonnie. I got to know her well through work and always looked forward to holiday time and planning with her. She will surely be missed. Love and thoughts to the family.

Dear Abraham, Benjamin,  Sam, and family.We are so sorry to hear of Bonnie's passing. So many fond memories of you, Bonnie,  and our family have stirred in our hearts. It was so  wonderful to have neighbors like you next to us on S. Woodland. Kim was like part of your family. Her kids still play the piano she purchased from you. We reflect on  all of the yard chats we had over the years. We know Sam and Ben have grown into amazing young men and we know she was proud of them. Bonnie was such a good person and we are saddened by the news. May god be with you and know she left imprints on many a heart. With deepest sympathy, Dave and Lynn Hutter

Dearest Barkley/Kay Families:
There are no appropriate words to properly express the shock and sadness upon hearing the news of Bonnie's passing. My sincere condolences to Mr. and Mrs. Barkley, to Bonnie's husband, children, and all those whose lives she touched. I am so sad

So truly sorry to hear about the passing of Bonnie. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Barkley-Kay families,
I'm so very sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you all.  I have fond memories of Bonnie from homeroom in Byron and Shaker Heights High School.  She was truly one of the good ones --- kind, compassionate, friendly, fun and so very bright.  My deepest sympathies are with you all at this impossible time.  May her memory be a blessing.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of our dear Bonnie. She had a keen sense of humor and a loving spirit. We go way back to elementary school. I know very few people who cared as much as Bonnie did. I am grateful that I was able to see Bonnie at our last couple of reunions. May your memory of Bonnie grow sweeter with time and always be a blessing. She was a one in a million!
