I had the pleasure of meeting Bonita through the doctors office. I work for. I always looked forward to her visits because I knew that we both work on it end up getting in trouble from us enjoying each other‘s company. I am going to truly miss seeing her face.!

I hate this so much. Bonita was just a lovely lady. Always so ready to let you spill your heart out and she would listen. We didn’t talk often but when she answered she would say “Of course I know who this is”. Bonita, I know you’re in a heavenly place. And I know who you are listening to now. Rest softly sweet lady…..
