Our heartfelt condolences go out to the beautiful family of sweet Bonnie! She lovingly spoke of her "kids" and grandkids as often as she could, and was a superb mom/grandmom!

Cannot believe she is gone and will be missed so much. We in Austin, TX, had been trying to get in touch with her to no avail, and discovered her passing away.

Our tears will forever follow a wonderful friend.

My deepest condolences to the family.
It was a joy and pleasure working with Ms. Bonnie.
We often would go to lunch and have breaks together where we enjoyed talking about our families.
Her family was everything to her and oh how she loved sharing stores of her grandchildren. BiBi had some great stories.
Ms. Bon Bon as I would call her, will be missed very much but she will forever live in my heart. I was very blessed to have her in my life.

On behalf of the Gonzalez Women (my mom Cristina, Ceci & Celina) & the Hegner Family (Fred, Cris(ty), Aidan & Olivia), we send our heartfelt condolences on the passing of the great Bonnie. She was a great lady, a direct & firm momma of our neighborhood.
I will always remember her with love & goodness. Your family was always tolerant & kind to me in our youth. My family & I will never forget your Mom offering your home when my dad passed. She was a beautiful woman & each of you definitely carry a bit of Bonnie in you. I love you all dearly & know that you need only to call if you need me for anything.

She was a classy lady. I enjoyed all my visits I had with her when Melanie was little and taking gymnastics from me. She was beautiful inside and out and her love for her family was always evident. God give you all comfort, strength, and peace - always. ~ Joy Jones

Eulalia, Albert, Christopher and Joel Tamez

Dearest Michael, Patrick and Melanie,
Our most sincere condolences to you all and your families. I was saddened to hear of the loss of your dear mom. She holds a special place in my heart for all of her love and attention she gave to Albert and I and especially our sons, Christopher and Joel, when we were in the car accident in 2001 in Austin. She took our sons into her home and gave them a place to live, fed them, and loved on them while Albert and I were in intensive care in Austin. Like I told her many times, we are eternally grateful to her for such kindness to us. She was certainly a beautiful lady, and I am so grateful for the privilege of knowing her and you all. The Holy Spirit, who is our comforter, strengthen you all and grant you peace of heart and mind. Ms. Bonnie, indeed, was a remarkable and very beautiful lady, and I am sure you all are very proud of her. Your tribute to Ms. Bonnie is awesome. During these difficult days concentrate and picture her when she was healthy and young and focus on all of the good and enjoyable times you all had with her. So grateful Ms. Bonnie is at peace and no longer suffering, enjoying the presence of the Lord our God. God Bless You All Abundantly.
