It saddens me to let you know that Bonnie’s husband Gil passed away Saturday. She called last week and said that he had taken a turn for the worst. I got a message tonight that he had passed. I have her phone # if you need it , but I am not sure of her new address…I think it is 208 40th Ave., Great Falls, MT 59404.…I’ll let everyone know if I hear anything else. Love to all …Thelma

Terry, Thanks for finding that for us. It makes me so sad!! I can't imagine losing my husband! Our prayers are with them certainly. Yes Thelma, if anyone wants to do anything just let us know. We can do flowers or even a donation to them or to an organization they support. Let us know if anyone think of what would be appropriate! Thanks, Carol

I would love to be part of a memorial donation if you all want to do that, let e know. It's strange, but I have had Bonnie on my mind lately.... I was wondering if it was because of Gil.

Hello everyone…I talked to Bonnie’s daughter tonight. I asked her if she and her mom would be offended if I got a collection from her pals from the Class of 71 instead of flowers. She said that would most beneficial because they have shut down the Daycare right now . So if you would like to send me your donation and send it altogether, or if each one of you would rather send it separately, or not at all, just let me know. love you all-Thelma
Barb, Bonnie hasen't had a computer for about a year now, she really hates that she could not keep up with everyone, she really loves this message board.....as do we all

Thelma, I think it would be so nice for us to send a donation. Will you be able to come on Sat. night to Sheila & Dennis'?? If so I will just give you mine there. If not, I'll mail it to you. I know everything is tight for everyone right now, but just a small amount each can really add up & let her know that we are thinking of her. Thanks for doing that Thelma. Hope to see you Sat. Love Carol

I think sending her what we can is a good idea! Everyone pray about how much you should give. Thelma, can you find out her address so we can send her a card? I look forward to seeing everyone Saturday evening!

Hello everyone...I can't make it Saturday, really wish I could. Bonnie's address is:
Bonnie Darlene King 208 40th Ave. N.E. Great Falls, MT 59404
Carol is right it doesn't need to be much, just whatever you can afford....whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated...and if you can't that is ok too.
thanks...I feel so fortunate to have such caring friends, time and distance has not changed our bond to each other...we have something very special ...love to you all-Thelma

Thank you Gary for letting me know about Bonnie's husband. I am so sad for Bonnie, so far away. I sent a card and wrote a letter, so little for such a vibrant person. I loved her stories about our pasts, her humor, how sad we were when she stopped . I will pray forBonnie.....E
