Becky Christianson says
Joe and Sam …. so sorry to hear about Bonnie’s death. No matter what the circumstances are it is so hard to tell someone that final good-bye and know you won’t see them again in this life on earth. I pray that wonderful memories will ease the sorrow you all are feeling.

Joe and Sam,
So sorry to hear about Bonnie’s death. I have such good memories of all 3 of you through the years at Frontier. So many good talks and visits. She was such a kind person; I never heard her voiced raised in anger or frustration. She had a great sense of humor and could always make a person smile. She will be deeply missed. My heart aches for all of you.

We are thinking of you Joe, Sam and family, we just felt so bad. I didn’t know she was that sick, she was a dear sister and sure didn’t want to hear of her dying. It truly will be a grand day when death is gone forever, and these dear ones are resurrected to a beautiful life in paradise, in the mean time we pray that Jehovah will strengthen you and give you courage for the days ahead to go on. Carola Moline, Lori Nicks, and the Seabolts.

Betty Dilger says
Dear Joe and Sam, I just saw on facebook about Bonnie, I’m so sorry to hear it, our best wishes to all of you. I lost Carl last March too, so share your sadness, but we have a wonderful hope in the resurrection and new world, knowing it’s not permanent. Our love to you from Betty (Dilger) & our girls here, Becky and Emmy and their families .
Esther Tronnes-Hernandez says
Joe and Sam and the Wolf Point Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses will be missing a piece for now. Soon though Jehovah will wake her up and she will be her old self again, no sickness or suffering. She will be missed very much by so many of us. Bonnie was a very loving lady. She was like a mother to me. I will be praying for all in the congregation that Jehovah will give you comfort until the time we can get her warm hugs again and see her lovely smile and twinkling eyes. Love to yo all.
