Dear Bonnie - I spoke to Mom last fall. Tried to call her again in late Feb or early Mar. When I got a 'disconnected', my heart sank. Somehow I just knew. I've known and loved your Mother since we were 11 years old - thru St, Gall grammar sch, Lourdes High sch, the CPD yrs, and beyond. I was her maid of honor. I miss her even now. Please call me when you can - 847 / 520-5208 Joy Witkowski

Dear Bonnie-Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will always have wonderful memories of great times with Papa Bear, mom and you at the lake, riding the waves on the Bonnie Jean and snowmobiling with the families. - With warmest regards, Brad, Natalie, Shannon and BJ Woods and their families.

Dear Bonnie - I am so sorry to hear of your mother's death. She played such an important role in the life of our family. Her many years spent orchestrating my father's busy life and keeping us all connected prior even to cell phones were essential to us all and we are so grateful to her. I trust that she and your dad and my mother and father are reunited and having some wonderful laughs over the incredible adventures they shared and the great stories they can tell about the many years spent together at CPD and Bally ...we have lost some great and special treasures with the passing of this generaion. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you struggle with the loss of the physical presence of this wonderful lady - Joan Rochford Donnelly
