Bonnie was truly a special person and caring sister in law. Her devotion to her family has always been her highest priority. I am grateful for the care she gave my brother at his final months and thankful she raised their children to be the good & caring individuals they are. Prayers to Angela, Ken & Justin and their families.
I am getting older now and I’m realizing more than ever that I, Jennifer Blackmon, am my mother’s daughter. I find myself binging on Little House on the Prairie, and I love the mountains. I love my mom and I know she is with the Lord from Everlasting to Everlasting
You’re a person who was in my life for a season but filled a big gap in my life at the time I didn’t realize it at the time, but I did it as the years went by. I always enjoyed seeing your post especially about your kids, oh Bonnie, I’m so sorry, and to the the kids if there’s anything I can do I’m at your service
It’s jenny
Renee! You were at my mom’s service before you ever knew it! You planted seeds of Jesus Christ in my heart and shared your testimony when we were neighbors. You planted those seeds. Another person or a few others watered but GOD gave me the abundance! I am glad to say that I have been born again and you must know that you, because of your faithfulness to the Lord, were part of the victory!
Mom,
I love you and miss you every day!!!!!! Thank you for everything that you have done for me since you gave birth me too me on January 13th, 1987. I have so many memories of you. I miss how you made every holiday feel special. I miss how you would send pictures of recipes you made and send me the recipes even though I had no idea what I was doing. I miss how you would come visit on a regular basis. I miss our road trips together and listening to your favorite songs along the way. I miss being able to call & text you every day. I miss saying good night and that I love you every single night and I would not be able to sleep until I heard from you. I miss watching everybody loves Raymond, the king of queens, lassie, the golden girls and little house on the prairie with you. I miss how you made birthdays special every year. I miss how we would spend hours on the phone talking about everything. Your support while I was in the Army will never be forgotten, even though it was difficult for you knowing that I was deploying you did your best to pretend it did not worry you, but you knew that it was something that I always wanted to do. There a million things that I miss.
I love you and will see you soon.
