Bonnie was a dear friend, one of the best I have had in my lifetime. I am very sad that I was not aware of her passing and that I could not be there to pay my respects. She will always be in my thoughts and in my memories, some of the best memories that I have. You know I will be thinking of you every time I buy a pair of shoes, I love you like the sister I never had. Rest in peace my sister.
