Lived, Laughed, Loved

In Loving Memory of My Sister Bonnie
May 1, 1975- March 15, 2008

Never Forgotten

May the bond we shared as sisters
Bring you peace when days get long.
May the love you heard in my voice
Be a warm and soothing song.
May the memories of our childhood
Fill your heart with strength and love.
May God's promise of the future
Bring warm assurance from above.


It's been one year since Bonnie died. It has been a difficult year. Anyone who has lost a loved one will know the feelings of the "First____________" without them. I have felt Bonnie's love and closeness many times. I have known she has had her hand in many decisions and situations. I am comforted to know that she is in a happier place, she is where she needs to be and doing much work. Because of my testimony of the Gospel, I know I will see her some day and will have a much anticipated and joyous reunion with her.

I love you Bonnie!
There has not been a day this last past year that I have not thought of you! Slowly my heart continues to mend. I have tried to replace the memory of that tragic day, one year ago, to random memories of happier times spent with you. A long journey still faces me and those who are left behind, I know we must endure and carry on without you. It uplifts me to know that you are here with me in spirit,
Living with, Laughing at, and loving me always,
until we see each other again.
