Bonita always had a smile and a kind word for others. Her love for her extended family was obvious when she spoke about them. You could see it in her eyes.
Clabe and Bonita set a great example regarding love and respect through their years together. I am grateful she made my brother so happy.
And If you were one of the lucky ones, you enjoyed a slice of German chocolate cake while visiting their home.
Bonita handmade a very special baby’s book for our granddaughter many years ago. These are some of the wonderful memories we will carry in our heart forever.
We are grateful to have had her in our lives for many years and she is already missed.
Sending Love from North Carolina.
Marv, Mary, Richard and Savannah.
