    What a sad way to reconnect with my cousins...I am thinking of you as you mourn the loss of your sister. Bonny was nearly ten years older than me and so at family gatherings I always felt a little protected by her. I remember her as a girl with a bright smile that would light up the room, and a cheerful heart. when I was a teenager and Shawna was a few months old, Bonny brought her to our apartment in Richmond for a good visit. I have very fond memories of that time. We went to White Rock to have fish and chips at the beach and I can still remember Shawna sitting contentedly on a blanket on our living room floor. Bonny was such a loving and caring mother and we all missed her laughter when they left. We BC relatives have lost touch over the years, but family is family, and Bonny will be forever remembered as a good hearted, loving mom and a young woman with a heart of gold. Lots of love to the whole family, Rhonda
