You may remember that I worked with Bonnie at Unisys. It was during the time when she and I were both starting families. We were pregnant at the same time for all 3 of our kids. Lockstep. When they were little, we got our kids together, even though we lived not so close.  She and I spent many hours consulting each other on parenting, our love for our kiddos, and occasionally, some work related things.  What a great listener Bonnie was...a deep thinker and a wise friend. And SUCH a great sense of humor.  I can still feel the joy of her hearty laugh and that little look that she gave when she just delivered a zinger, you know the one...I was so blessed to have BonBon as my friend. For the last 5 years of her time at Unisys, I transferred into her group (continuation) and we sat in touching cubicles for those years. She was my favorite part of the day.  Social, smart, and sassy...so much fun! Never a slacker. Always first in reaching out to the sad, in taking on a new task, in defending and bolstering the hurting. Heart of pure gold.

I am so sad for the family at the loss of this precious mom, grandma, wife...and friend. She is one of a kind. I was so privileged to know her. Unique and precious.
