They enjoyed baking, crafting, and going on special outings. Bonnie also had a love of travelling.

I met Bonnie in 1972 on a six week tour of Europe. I was looking through some old letters after the tour. I decided to look for her online and sadly saw that she had passed. I ran out of money so she loaned me some to have my last two meals. She sent me my first telegram to wish me congratulations on my wedding in 1973. She was a fun person and I never forgot her.

I always considered you my mom and not to replace mine because I will always love her but you accepted me as I was and welcomed me with open loving arms into your family and it is because of you that I will continue to speak about you often and smile as I do.Brian and I miss you very much. - Posted by: Don Puls (Son-in-law) on: Apr 13, 2013
