In Loving Memory
Brent, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved wife Bonnie. May our Father in Heaven bless you and all of your posterity in this hard and trying time. I cherish our friendship and the time we had working together at the RR all those years. God bless you my friend and Brother.

A lot of the greatest memories that I had with my grandma involved music. I remember the first time that I searched through the CD's in her car, finding Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and her offering to play it for me. I remember the long drives where she would play the greatest hits of The Beach Boys, Creedence Clearwater Revival, or The Eagles. I remember how she sang along to Bob Segar or Neil Diamond every time a song appeared on the radio. I remember discovering my love of vinyl and playing her music from both my generation and hers. Even near the end, I remember how music seemed to put a smile on her face.
But when the music ends, there was always this silence that always unnerved me. I don't know why, but I always found the silence after the music to be uncomfortable. Jarring. Sudden. And at times, sad at how it ends. I felt the same way when I saw my grandma for the last time on Friday. I was scared, fearing the worst and not ready to move on from the experiences I had with her.
Despite everything that had happened to Grandma, she was still there until the very end. My worst fears, fears of her forgetting who I was, never came to pass. Even in the final moments, she still remembered the music that she loved, and the love that she had for all of us. And I'll be sure to keep the music playing in honor of the love that we all had for her. I love you, Grandma. God only knows what I'd be without you.
I couldn't have asked for a better work partner and friend. She trained me when I started in that job in '81. We worked closly together for the next 22 years. Sharing the work, friendship and a great deal of laughter. She was so smart, and so funny. I was lucky the day they put me in the desk next to hers, my career and life are better for it. My love goes out to Brent, Jenn, Erin and their families.
Sorry to read about Bonnie's passing. Best wishes to her family.
I am so sorry to hear of Bonnie's passing. My heart aches for her loving family's loss.
Bonnie was a co-worker and an employee of mine. Please know that Bonnie was always wonderful to have on any project and work with every day.
She demonstrated such high integrity and caring for everyone. I am sure at home with her family she was just as special.
God bless her loving family. May her beautiful memories ease your heart ache and loss every day.
I am devastated to hear of Bonnie's passing. I worked with Bonnie for a number of years and enjoyed her sweet friendship. We had so much fun, both at work and socializing after work. Rest In Peace, dear Bonnie. You will be so missed!
