Judy, Bobby, Steve & Jeff,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at the loss of your mother and grandmother. Ms. Bonnie was a wonderful lady and it was a pleasure to have known her. When she moved to Alabama, I missed her smiling face and sweet spirit at church each Sunday. She will be missed.
Love, Ernestine

Christine, Judy and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sadness. May God’s love surround you and give you peace and comfort during the difficult days ahead. Just keep your thoughts on the precious memories Bonnie has left for you. God Bless.
Bonnie was my great aunt, but she was so much more. After my Dad (John Haney) passed away, Bonnie, my Mom (Bertha Haney) and myself took many road trips, from eating out,flea markets, leaf watching, going on Parkways, onto Pegion Forge at Christmas looking at the lights. We shared many laughs. I didn’t know you could have so much fun with two senior saints. They made me laugh when they didn’t even know they did. That is precious memories.
