Other tributes left by friends:
>I smiled when I heard that Bonnie left us on 4o'clock on Saturday morning. How fitting for a market vendor! I'll hold you all close in my prayers...as a fellow vendor, I know that the market has lost a bright light.
>Bonnie and I shared the same oncologist and ran into each other frequently. She was always optimistic and went out of her way more than once to email me a referral or offer information based on her cancer experiences. Thoughtful and compassionate to the end, Bonnie was a friend who will be sorely missed.
>I have had the pleasure of working with Bonnie for over 15 years. I could not find a more wonderful and warm person to be associated with. She always made me smile and feel good about myself. Such a person will be missed but never forgotten.
