May 17, 2022 at 2:45 pmI loved this woman! We knocked heads early on the HP Days but we then grew on each other as she made contact with so many of our customers here in the Texas and southwest area. In many case they would contact her directly for services. I am heart broken today, finding this news. We spoke at length about everything late last year; her move, then the move to AGILENT, Mary – everything. I couldn’t wait to work with her in the new year. Sadly I did not know of her illness and my heart breaks……You truly do not know when will be the last time you speak with someone……..

May 19, 2022 at 4:56 pmBonnie worked for my mother Lynda at La Firme and was a unique and vibrant presence in the majority of my life. I always felt like she was a sort of aunt of mine since she had been working for my mom for so long and I saw her so often. She had seen me as a young child sitting at the top of the stairs of my mom’s basement (where La Firme started), throwing toys down the stairs to get attention. Throughout my teens, Bonnie and I had an joking love-hate relationship; her devotion to her career meant she often stayed late at the office, leading to a running joke of me telling her “go home Bonnie!” She was always supportive of me and interested in finding out about my life whenever I came to visit at work. Bonnie and Andy’s wedding was my first time at a wedding and I remember it fondly as a joyous occasion filled with love and appreciation. As I grew older and starting my own life, I saw Bonnie and my mom’s employees/my “aunts” much less, save the yearly business Christmas lunches to which I was invited. It was always a fun occasion to catch up with the ladies while doing gift exchanges, and Bonnie was always interested in how my time studying at uni in Montreal (and more recently in England) was going. I’m sad to say I haven’t been in contact with Bonnie recently, and the news of her death truly takes me by surprise as she was always a strong fighter. I truly did love Bonnie and I am very glad to have met her. I offer one last “Go home Bonnie” as she joins her close friend, coworker, and another of my “aunts,” the late Mary Krumel, who passed away recently as well. They were such a unique and impactful duo during my childhood that will forever remain in my memory.

May 20, 2022 at 2:56 pmBonnie worked for my company for 25 years. She was there at the beginning of it all. Those were fun days. Everything was new and exciting. We were discovering everything at the same time. I could always count on her for support and doing what needed to be done. I started my company in the basement of my house and Bonnie would stay till 8:00PM many times. In the beginning I was waiting for her to leave so I could get comfortable and put my pyjamas on but she wouldn’t leave. My 3 year old son Jason would tell her to go home as he said in his comment but she wouldn’t. I finally decided that since she was going to stay anyway she better learn to get comfortable seeing me in my pyjamas. The best gift she ever organized for me was a photo shoot of all my employees in their pyjamas. It is hanging on the wall in my office and I look at it every day thinking of all the fun and good times we had. Her wedding to Andy was one of the best ones I had ever attended. She also helped me a lot when both my sister and mother passed away within 3 months of each other. I was new to arranging funerals and she guided me through this like as a good friend. I will miss you my friend. It was not always easy between us but never doubt that I always valued you and was thankful for all you did for me. Go rest now and say hi to Mary. I am sure the two of you will be reunited. Goodbye my friend.

May 22, 2022 at 4:02 pmI am shocked and incredibly sad to hear of Bonnie’s passing. We spoke just a few weeks ago and she told me that she was being released from the hospital. She told me she couldn’t wait to get back home to enjoy the condo which she had decorated so beautifully.
She has been such an incredible friend to me and my mother Hanna and I will really miss her quirkiness and transparency in how she felt.
I will cherish the memories of her and all that she did to help my mother out when I lived in the USA.
Sincerest condolences to Michelle, Gayle, Susie and the boys.
