Dear Patenaude family and extended family. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. Bonnie was always a wonderful young lady to talk to. Always cheerful are my memories from school. It was so nice to have lunch with her with the TCI gals a couple of years ago. We were all sad that she was going for treatment and couldn’t join us more often. May your beautiful memories hug your hearts at this time. - Posted by: Carol & Glenn Chudley (School friend) on: Jul 05, 2025
