Bonnie is a treasure and a gift. Such a powerful voice and example for Christ. She inspired so many, and was a special gift to me in my journey. She was not afraid to stand for what she believed in, and was a fierce warrior in life with the circumstances she faced.
Bonnie has been a blessing in my life and taught me that if God leads you to it, He will lead you through it. I will miss her early morning calls, her spontaneous ideas, her laughter, our discussions about the Lord, and her trust in me during the projects we worked together on. I will miss having the visible example of her incredible willingness to be obedient no matter what the cost. It is inspiring how she maneuvered through her journey in life, and what a gift her family is to her. So thankful for all of the love and support she knew she could count on with Charlotte, Janet, Crystal and the rest of her family.
God is glorified by Bonnie's precious life.
So grateful to God for sweet Bonnie's life and all the love she shared and the joy she brought to so many.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Mrs Bonnie's friends and family. I have known Bonnie for 20 years such an inspiration to me. She would pray with me. I lost my daughter Chasidy almost 3 years ago and Bonnie would talk to me and pray with me. I know she is rejoicing in heaven. Love you Bonnie. Until we meet again

What a prayer warrior and servant of God. A true example of the hands and feet of Jesus. She was always so helpful and compassionate. She will be truly missed but I'm almost jealous that she's getting to talk to Jesus face to face. Her family has our sympathy and prayers.

MRS Bonnie was a very sweet woman. I called her one day and ask her if she could put my boy to work and she did and my son said nothing but very good stuff about her. She thought my son alot and now he is staying out of trouble so set my boy right. She will be missed by so many people. REST IN PEACE MRS BONNIE

Oh my I hadn't heard until just now. Bonnie was a dream maker and a faith builder. She gave the beaten and downtrodden dreams. Dreams for a better tomorrow and faith to build on. She didn't care if you were rich or poor, she cared to show you Jesus. Bonnie had a history, and that history gave her knowledge and insight that many people never understand. She was real. She loved people. She loved her family but utmost she loved the lord and all he had done for her. Bonnie will be seen by those of us who serve the Lord and live for Jesus. So it's not good bye, it's see you later my friend. Hug my little Ashton for me.

So much love and kindness for all in one sweet soul. I met Bonnie probably 20 yrs ago. And I have never seen anybody do so much for so many. She would always give my daughter a toy when she was little, and last time she saw Emily she couldn’t believe how grown she was.. â¤ï¸ Bonnie was 1 of a kind. And will be truly missed.. all of the people at Helping Hands feel like family. I love you all. It’s not goodbye- it’s see you laterðŸ™ðŸ»â¤ï¸ðŸ™ðŸ»

Bonnie lived her life in service to others. She brought hope to many and tireless gave of herself to the community. She loved her family at Helping Hands and never ceased to be a presence there. A light has certainly grown dim in Saline County. May the torch be carried on by those she left behind to continue serving the vulnerable populations and truly carry out her legacy of giving back. She was an example of God’s love in the work she did. Forever missed.

My Spiritual mother, you always taught me not to love you to death, but say "I love you to life"
So even in your passing I will always love you to life, for you hold a special place in my heart, as you helped me along the way with my journey with the Holy Spirit as I know your at the throne room now resting at our Fathers feet and He finally got to tell you what you've always wanted to hear "WELL DONE MY FAITHFUL SERVANT" for you finally finished your race.
My beautiful Spiritual mother I'll always remember and never forget who you were and always will be to my family. an amazing Sister, Mawmaw, and MY SPIRITUAL MOTHER

My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family at this time for strength and love. Bonnie meant so very much to me, I have known her since she was 12 years old and I was 14. Her and her sister Janet are my best friends then and remain that throughout the years. I love them like sisters. She was a warm and giving person even when she was younger. She was always there for me helping me through some of the roughest times in my life, so it didn't surprise me when she took on Helping Hands, that was just the kind of person she was. I will miss you forever, until I see you again.

Bonnie saw something in me when no one else did. She saw me when I didn’t. She told me God loved me when I thought he had forsaken me. It was with her light and love that I found God again and found myself again and I have thrived ever since. She has always told me. Charish, I don’t have many people I myself call my true friends and you are my true friend and I love you. I hold those words oh so dear to my heart especially now. Bonnie sue I will never forget you and I will continue the ministry you have taught that Jesus is love. I love you. Til we meet again my sweet friend and sister in Christ
