My husband and I worked with Bonnie at McDonnell Douglas. I feel very lucky to have met her. She and Boyd gave me a Bible to help me find my way to Jesus. I can happily say I did. She was the kind of woman that you can truly say the world was a better place with her in it. I love you Bonnie and your words of advice for me still ring in my ears. Thank you and you will be so missed. Linda and Gary (Mac) McFarland
It's been many years since I've had the opportunity to talk with many of my family members including my Aunt Bonnie. It would have been nice to stay closer but, Uncle Sam pulled me away and a new marriage relocated me in New York. I always enjoyed when Bonnie was around and listening to her and her sister/brother's singing. This was always a very good childhood memory. We will all miss her!! Bobby & Colleen Hatman
My heart is breaking of the loss of another angel. I will never forget the times my family and the Goodsons shared. Bonnie was an AMAZING lady. She was definetly a child of God whom she loved unconditionally She most definitely earned her angel wings. Bonnie knick named me Donna Dolittle and I will never ever forget that! RIP Bonnie a job well done.
From a loving husband, God gave me a jewel.
