Well the work of saying Goodbye is over but the ache of your missing place in my life and heart is sharper today than ever. Pharmaceuticals got me this far but are not helping much today. Missing you and Dad so very much. Love Cindy

We were very sorry to hear from my brother, Jim Gergits, that Bonnie had passed away. We lived close to Bonnie for many years in Visitation Parish and remember visiting her parents on Carpenter St and May Street. Bonnie was in my sister Marge's wedding and my niece, Dianne Kjos, was in college with her daughter. I still remember Bonnie getting a chuckle whenever she visited my grandparents, Tom and Maggie McGrath because they kept up Bonnie's picture in her habit long after she left the convent. Bonnie was always fun to be around and I know she is welcomed in Heaven by many, especially my cousin Mary Hoyt who always kept in close contact with Bonnie. Our prayers are with her family.

Move over all you Heavenly Angel wanna-bees! The REAL Angel-in-Charge of modern times needs a well deserved spot in the closet to hang her wings! I am lucky indeed for knowing Aunt Bonnie since about the time I could walk. I will miss her roar of laughter, her unedited prayers outloud to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and her 'open arms' spirit toward ALL. Her love for her family, friends, and all she involved herself with, speaks so transparently to what a wonder-woman Aunt Bonnie was. My childhood years have been so enriched with memories of Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Dick and the girls. You will always live in our hearts.
