Bonnie and Ed have been a part of our neighborhood lives for many years. We watched our children grow, graduate, marry and have children of their own. Our lives were always connected, even when the Hecocks relocated to Florida. It was always good to hear from Bonnie and know that during her visits to Ohio, she would make time to have lunch with the neighborhood gals. I will truly miss her. Betsy and David, please know that this same neighborhood is more than willing to help you and your families in any way we can. Love, Susan
