Birth date: Sep 24, 1964 Death date: Mar 29, 2019
My deepest condolences to Bonnie’s family. I worked with Bonnie at EBMUD where we shared many stories and breathtaking laughs which helped up get through the tough days. Although, I haven’t seen Bonnie in many years since she left EBMUD, her passing is truly heartbreaking. I thank God for bringing her into my life and pray for comfort to all who mourn such a wonderful person.Rest in Peace Bonnie.
Bonnie, I am so grateful for your friendship. Your words of encouragement and support for my family and me were so appreciated, and I hope I was able to provide you with the same, even if it was just a fraction of all you gave to me. I will miss getting to pull up a chair and chat with you about the big and little things in our lives. I will miss our trips to the theater and dance performances, and all the great times and great laughs we shared together. You will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved you. Right now it’s so hard to think about all the times we shared and not feel a deep sadness, but I know in time I will look back on these same times and smile a smile as big as yours, and just be thankful to have known you and called you friend.
Sweet Bonnie, you are one of a kind, vibrant, warm, loving, understanding, giving, highly intelligent and mischievous. Although we haven’t seen each other in many years, you have always been close to my heart and one of my great memories of working together at EBMUD. Thank you for sharing our wonderful and difficult times together and teaching me many lessons at cards. I love you Bonnie and am devastated that you gone much too soon. To dear Winston, Isiah and your many family, friends and acquaintances, I share your deep loss and know we are all better because you were in our world and will always be in our memories.
Since the loss of you, I’ve learned to live for each day And take it as a blessing, Knowing it may not always be this way. Since the loss of you, I’ve learned that when everything goes wrong To never give up on what is right Because it can only make you strong. Since the loss of you, I’ve learned that even when you’re in a lot of pain You’ve got to hold yourself together So you won’t feel like you’re going insane. Since the loss of you, I’ve learned how to hold the tears when I want to cry Because all I have is memories And just want to ask God why. But mostly, since the loss of you, I’ve learned a life can be taken in the blink of an eye And only Heaven really knows when That person will have to say “Goodbye.” RIP my friend ????
