We started Calgary Wheelchair Curling in 2004 and Bonnie was one of the very first Instructors. She was a steady influence as a Coach and Instructor to this new Curling Game. Along with others, she helped develop the Curlers in Calgary to one of the most successful Wheelchair Curling Teams in Canada. Bonnie was so reliable and it was a pleasure to work with in various Curling Classes in Calgary and elsewhere. RIP Bonnie. May all your rocks have great weight and perfect curl. Hurry Hard Girl. Loved you lots. ~ Ernie Comerford
