Tim and Lynne-Can't say I knew your Mom and Dad too well when I was young, but got to know them better thru their friendship with the Smithermans after retirement. They were great company & fun. Much like you two.

Our thoughts are with you during this time.
I spent a lot of time with Bonnie and loved her very much. She always loved to go out to eat with Dr. Cogburn and myself. What a wonderful woman! She surely will be missed by all. My sympathy goes out to the family. She will always be my friend.
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
Bonnie and Loren were good friends of our family for many years, since I was a child. They are both missed and in my thoughts this morning.
I am so thankful that through my friendship with Bonnie's granddaughter, Lindsey Ford, I was able to meet and spend time with Bonnie (AKA Memaw). Memaw helped me with painting projects and I always enjoyed her humor and her loving spirit. She sewed numerous things for me, including some extremely cherished pieces for our nursery and our baby we were waiting to adopt. Memaw was always so interested in and compassionate about our journey toward becoming parents. Just a week and a half before Memaw went to heaven, our daughter was born! The day after Memaw passed, we went to see the judge to finalize her adoption and she wore a beautiful gown that Memaw had sewn. It was the most special thing. Karl, myself, and Kora will always remember and love Memaw! xoxo
Dear Lynne, Am so sorry that weather will not permit me to be with you today but please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and Bonnie's entire family. She was a sweet lady with a sweet smile and was a wonderful neighbor. xxx
Bonnie Heiple was my aunt. She was so wonderful to me when I was growing up. I will miss her wonderful laugh and great sense of humor. She was a wonderful seamstress, she was very compassionate and had great patience. I am so glad I was able to have some great phone conversations with her and tell her how much I loved her before she passed.
Tim, I am sure sorry to read about your Mom's passing. Beautiful photo. You must have had a very nice family.
Your Mom was a very fine lady. Condolences to you and Tim.
