  4. To Bill and all the family:

    Our heartfelt sympathy goes to each of you at this time of loss. We as humans might want to question God and ask why he allowed the homegoing of Ms. Bonnie but we know in part that it is his perfect will for her. She has fought a good fight, kept the faith and therefore the treasures of heaven are waiting her in that land we are promised called ‘Heaven’.Your lives will never be the same without her. We know that you will miss her! But just remember she’s only gone from our sight to the beauties of heaven. Only gone from our sight to that city so bright. Where the flowers of God, flowers of God, are blooming forever. We’ll meet her again she’s only gone from our sight.Our memories are one thing that death can never take away. Rest in those memories. Remember all the good times, the laughing, crying, and the sharing of daily life. And may we each take this time to make our calling and election sure so that we may see Bonnie soon in that beautiful place that we are promised ‘Heaven’. Our prayers are with you.
