I just learned of the lost of my dear friend from high school. My heart hurts for her and all who loved her as she died so young. We worked together at Osco Drug and I spent time at her home getting to know her family and her grandparents at Ivy's Sweet Sixteen. I remember Bonnie as a vibrant,mart and loyal friend. I can only think of the first line of the book "The Road Less Traveled" - Life is difficult".
I shall pray for Bonnie's soul and for her family and friends and my the happy memories be of some comfort to all.

My name in high school: Ann Zeljeznjak

Bonnie, I tried to find you for years and I'm so sorry the last time I heard from you was the wedding invite to the wedding at the Drake.
