    Bonnie's faith, hope and
    Bonnie's faith, hope and strength for all of us resounds in her profile. As I re-read her words that she has written to share with us, I felt such a strong sense of peace because of her Rock solid faith. Teal sisters we are - and will always hold each other up- even if we become physically absent from these posts. That is a strong, strong Spirit that binds us together. Bless you all - ((♥))

    LOVING, SOFT HUGS, BONNIE
    I believe the journal was written by her husband, Randi. Yet even at his most difficult moments, he continues to share the love of the Lord, and continue the inspiration that Bonnie has blessed us with all these years. God Bless you Randi. Lifting you up (and family) in prayer.

    prayer
    Praying for all who know and love Bonnie. Within the past week, Bonnie responded to my personal email. She doesn't know me. She cares enough to help us through this journey. May Bonnie and her loved ones be blessed with peace and comfort at this time.

    I am so saddened by the latest news. I know she walks hand-in-hand with the Lord, every day of her life, but it's so hard on the rest of us. I feel so sad and helpless. And angry....I am angry that we can put a man into outer space and send messages and video and photos across thin air with the speed of light, but we can't cure cancer.

    Words are not enough
    to express all the complicated feelings that well up from my heart. I am still crying, but was able to write a note to Randy. He is so sweet to keep us updated even as the love of his life is dying. Bonnie is one incredible lady, and has been an inspiration and light to so many. When I joined this board a few years ago, I was so encouraged by her uplifting and sweet words, and I know many others can say the same thing. When I recurred, after 8 montsh of NED, I had some pretty dark days, and even expressed some of my dark thoughts here. And she was alwasy there to listen, and encourage. A true gift she has and used I'm sure, even before she had cancer. She didn't have to think hard or contrive her words to make them positive, she WAS positive and that springs up from her strong yet simple faith in God.

    Dear Bonnie, thank you for sharing your life and faith with all of us!!! You have made a difference in our lives. You are going to be missed, but I know you will be ok. I'm so looking forward to seeing you on the other side and having a long chat over a cup of coffee. I'm praying for you today that you will not be in any pain, and your time with your family and friends will be sweet and full of love.

    You are my hero❤❤❤
    love always,
    kathleen

    If you Google Bonnie's name, with Ovarian Cancer, you'll see quite a lot of letters she's written and things she's participated in her quest to elevate OVCA awareness. I have been humbled by her ambition, and will always appreciate her work and advice. We can honor her by doing so.

    It's hard to lose friends to the disease; she and I have discussed this sad fact, the result of becoming involved with support groups. We need to remember her as a lovely woman who has given so much to all of us. I will sorely miss her!

    She will walk with God.

    Bonnie you gave me support when my mum passed away and I can not thank you enough. You said to me another angel has her wings. When you get your wings go see my mum, I get the feeling you two lovely ladies will get on. Lots and lots of love, Rubyslippers

    today's (Friday) CaringBridge journal entry:
    Bonnie has always meant so much to me, there for me every step of this cancer journey as my 'life coach' and voice of experience, and my example of grace and courage and optimism and persistence and so many many things. I, too, cannot find the words for how I feel, my sense of loss and gratitude. Here is what was in my InBox this morning:


    (posted on Bonnie's CaringBridge blog, unsure of author):

    Friday, September 24, 2010 6:52 AM, CDT

    Words are not enough, how wonderful to have met Bonnie and her family in this journey we are each traveling through together. ☺

    How easier it is to know that Bonnie will be with Jesus her Savior, Redeemer and Friend.

    We love you, Bonnie. I know Jesus has His arms wide open!!

    Living for Eternity,

    Sweet Bonnie
    Hi, sorry to have not posted in a while. I have been lucky enough to have been dancing with NED. I logged on to check on Bonnie. I am so sorry. Like everyone on this site, she has helped me through so many difficult moments with this disease. Her faith is incredibly inspiring. I am not worried at all for Bonnie - I'm sure she will be forever happy in the hands of her Lord - but am very sad for the rest of us left here without her.
    Go in peace, Bonnie, we love you!
    Love, Carol

    Bonnie's gone. I am heart-sick. I HATE CANCER!!!
    Just got this:


    Hello from Bonnie's family,

    This afternoon at aproximately 1:45 pm Mom walked through the gates of heaven. She was peaceful and sourrounded by love. Although we will miss her dearly we know she is in the arms of the Lord and free from pain.

    We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, prayers and love. You all speak of how much she touched your lives but know how much you touched hers in return.

    God Bless You All

    Bonnie's family.
