Messages of Condolence

To the McKague family; I was deeply saddened to hear of Bonnie's passing. I had gotten to know her much better over the past year, and found her honesty and vibrancy refreshing. She was a great judge of character, and I loved how she was not afraid to "call it as she saw it." We had another good chat about a month ago, and I will always cherish that. She was her usual cheery self, and spoke highly of you all. A spirit like Bonnie's does not come along every day; what a gift she was to us all. With sincere condolences, Toni Beddoes (and family)

We were shocked and saddened when Gwen phoned us with the news that Bonnie was in hospital in intensive care and then again a few days later that she had passed away. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all her family but everyone must be relieved that her suffering is over - she has not had a pleasant time the last few years with her various health problems. May she now rest in peace.

Dennis, Shawn, Kelly, Lisa and families, our sincere condolences on Bonnie's passing. I have so many fond memories of the fun times we had along with Wanda and Paul. I'm sure that Bonnie has already tracked Wanda down and the two of them are having a coffee and planning something fun. Greg & Debbie Harris
