2 Memorials Meeting Bonnie about 6years ago was a blessing. She was always a person you could count on for anything. When she loved, she loved wholeheartedly. Her infectious ways brought people together near and far. I m reminded of this gospel song that says, May the work I ve done speak for me! Your work spoke highly of you. Until we meet again. Rest on my beautiful friend!! Love ya!! KISCHA CATCHINGS, OCTOBER 26, 2017 Gonna miss you Bonnie! You were such a good person at heart and easy to talk to. Good friend also. You are with the Lord now and watching over us!! We miss you! JEENA, OCTOBER 26, 2017 I met Bonnie only once in my whole life, at Shevy's birthday dinner a few months ago. However, during that short span of time, as we all laughed and enjoyed good food and drink, she really made an impression on me. It is not often that I meet someone who immediately strikes me with such a generous and kind spirit. I would have liked to know Bonnie better as she seemed like just the type of person I would have loved to call my friend. I am sad to hear this news, and I wish Bonnie's survivors strength as they try to get through this difficult time. DONNA ARCENEAUX, OCTOBER 26, 2017 Bonnie was an amazing woman.

I was visiting my daughter, Nikki Henderson. She was having a birthday party for my granddaughter Abby Henderson. I didn't really know too many people there and I was standing off to myself. A lady walked up to me and grabbed me and gave me a big ole hug as she was saying "Hey Nikki's Mom...I am so glad to get to meet you...nikki has said so many good things about you..." She was one of the nicest "strangers" I have ever met. And of course she was no longer a stranger... We saw each other through out many yrs at Nikki's usually at Abby's parties. Bonnie always gave me a warm hug..she was an awesome lady. So glad to have got to know her...so, so sad to hear of her passing...rip Bonnie JACKIE MOORE, OCTOBER 22, 2017 I don't even know where to begin. You were amazing.
