To Bonnie’s family – I am so sorry to hear of Bonnie’s death. We were such long-time friends. I’m so sorry to say that I will not be able to attend her funeral service, to speak with you personally, but please accept my condolences and prayers for all of you. Larry, I know how tough it is to lose your lifelong companion. They say time will heal, but a few years does not do it. I will be praying for you.
Your old friend, Connie Lueker
