Bonnie you are one of the strongest people I have ever known. Eternal rest with our Lord.
Dearest Mary Kay and Beth, I am so sorry for your loss. Bonnie was Jeff’s number one poll worker when he ran for Constable. She got more votes for him than anyone else and enjoyed every moment of it. She was a very sweet friend and had so many redeeming qualities, I know y’all will miss her and so will I. May your precious memories give you peace. Love you all.
I remember growing up on Cherry Avenue and enjoying Bonnie’s friendship. I can still see her riding her bicycle in the neighborhood! May God hold each of you in the palms of His hands.🙏🏼❤️

My condolences to all of the Briggs’ family. Bonnie was always the sweetest . I am so sorry for your loss.
Prayers going out to all of Bonnie’s family. I met her many years ago when I was caring for a neighbor who had a stroke. He and Bonnie were in rehab together and we became friends talking a lot about PN-G. She was always cheerful and a true joy. She will be missed.
