Bonnie will be truly missed on our Wednesday and Sunday leagues. Her smiling face selling 50/50s was always a joy. Prayers for her family during this time.

My memories are all the times I have spent with Mrs. Stockard on bowling trips or just hanging at her house. She was like a second mom. I will miss the eleven o clock calls on New Year Eve. But she will always be in my heart. May God bless her family in this time of sorrow.
