Dear Overstreets, Browns, and other Family:
I am very sorry to learn of my Aunt Bonnie's passing, and know this is a very challenging time, especially for everyone in Montana who got to be with her after retirement. You are all in my prayers and thoughts, and I wish you great comfort and support.
I will always remember her for her cheerfulness, her smiling face, and her upbeat attitude. Bonnie was a nice person, and someone I felt I could confide in and get sound advice from, and I have missed that connection.
She was someone who I know adored children, and I am glad she had so many in her life. I know she will be missed dearly, and loved always.
With love and sincere condolences,
Suzanne Paris
