My Mom was a devoted mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and daughter. She took great pride in her family, always keeping family first and treasuring every moment she spent with them. I think her sister Stacey says it best “Bonnie was a true believer of God, a lover of her daughters, an adorer of her grandchildren, and the biggest admirer of her Great Granddaughter, Maya. She was loyal, honest, and sometimes painfully optimistic…. Her heart was always pure. “ She had many adventures in her career life, but settled with that of being a caregiver. She loved being a caregiver and helping others. Her heart of gold and her unshakeable faith in God made this her perfect way to serve. It was her calling. She loved on her people with all the love she could possibly give.
Mom kept a journal and she wrote in it every day, I do mean EVERY DAY for over 15 years. It was her time with her God, and she cherished it. She would write to him of any struggles she was having at the time, but more importantly EVERY DAY she asked for guidance to be the best she could be, that the love of God would shine through her so that others could see the light and EVERY DAY she prayed for her daughters and her grandkids and I don't mean general, keep them safe prayers. The prayers were specific, for each one of us- whatever was going on in our life at the time, my momma was sending us prayers everyday, specifically related to that hardship. She prayed for her parents, her sisters, and her brother everyday also. What an amazing faith she had.
We want to carry on her mission and her light.
This fund will be used for any final expenses and anything remaining will go to a fund for caretaking for others, to help others who are struggling to keep their loved ones at home during illness, or have other caretaking expenses. We ran into many obstacles trying to keep mom at home with us. I was in touch with friends who were battling similar obstacles- they were not able to keep their loved one at home. Please consider donating today and keeping my momma's light bright. We love you all. Contribute
