Bonnie Anderson "Granbonny" June 10, 1940 - March 11, 2008

[Sherry]

Ann, thank you so much for posting those pictures. Every time I would see a pic of Bonnie from one of the reunions, it looked just like a had pictured her in my mind, warm, bubbly, and full of life. I still think of her passing often and truly miss her smiley posts.

It's been quite a while since I've been here and I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Bonnie's passing. I will miss her wisdom and positive, upbeat ways. I do know she's looking down on us and will go on living in every person she touched. LINDA

It is with great sadness that Joann and I learned of the loss of one of our long term friends. Bonnie was always there to help, listen, and support everyone.

May God grant all of her family and friends "peace and compassion".

Bonny will always be among us

Bonny will always be among us

It`s been a week already since Bonny`s funeral but I just couldn`t bring myself to write anything as until this moment, I still can`t think of ay words I could say to even remotely describe the impact her passing has had on me and our VR community. So, the only thing I can say is that she`ll be really missed by all of us here, and I`m sure that each one of us has learned a lot from her. I was remembering her the other day when I listened to a very sad song on youtube called "In the arms of an angel". Although Bonny`s gone, she`ll remain part of this site for a long time still. Whenever I`ve had to go on planes I always remembered what she used to say every time I posted about my fear of flying. Her very wise words were: " Those pilots are highly skilled and trained so you can trust them". Well, these words will follow me every time!

Bonnie,

My dear cyber friend - I know you are reading all these loving words. I am sorry we never got to meet in person but our emails and posts created a bond closer than many people who see each other every day.

You are missed and will be missed constantly until we finally get to meet in heaven.

My condolences to Bonnie's family - thank you for sharing her with us.

Omg!

Omg!

I can't believe it!!! For some reason I just saw this today Bonnie joined about the same time I did, I think.

Her posts were always from the heart (pun intended).

Bonnie was truly the VR.com mom/granny. She will be sorely missed. I loved hearing about her children and grandchildren. I wish I could say more, but the words just excape me.

Rest in peace and love Bonnie...we will miss you.

Wow, Granbonnie is gone, she will be very missed. It hit me again today that she's no longer with us in person.

I'm certain she's here with us in spirit. For hers and for all of us I wish....

Peace.

Ruth

Cort and I thought we should bring this up to the top again (like Harry did) so that you will know there is a place to personally express your condolences to Bon's family.

Just moving this one back to the top in case you wish to sign the book.

Sittin on the porch this morning, I wished I could talk to her about the weather, the children, the flowers and all the other things that were our subject of the moment.

Cort and I were just talking about Bonnie last night on IM... It the pain and shock has yet to subside for me... I was telling him that I can no longer type "..." without thinking of her. And every time I come here I feel like I'm going to see her posts again. I don't know if I'll ever truly believe she's gone.

Bonnie and I emailed about the possibility of a visit when Chris and I go to Orlando in April. Only goes to show that God has other plans for us and we can only try to accept. I am very sad that I will not get to meet Bonnie in person in this life. I am sure the next will be fun but certainly different. Since this hurts so much for someone like me who never spent time with her out of cyberspace, I cannot imagine the pain for those who were able to hug her.

 

[Ross]

I believe she is with us in many ways. She sure left a lasting legacy within all of us. This thread almost holds record views and there are far more posts then she'd ever imagine. Just wish she'd of known how much you all cared before she left us.

Weekly chat.

Weekly chat.

I miss Bonny as well, especially on our Sunday chats. It just isn't the same without her. Bonny never forgot about our weekly chat and would always remind everyone before hand and if she couldn't be there for some reason that week she would let Mary know so Mary could tell us. If Bonny wasn't there, I remember many people asking: Where's Bonny today, anyone seen Bonny already?" Now when I go in I still expect to see her name (in red) on the board but know that won't be so. Her name is silenced but she will be remembered forever in our hearts.
Rest in peace Bonny.
We all love you and miss you.

I know I am still at a loss for words...

I know I am still at a loss for words...

I just can't understand how such a classy, caring, loveable, genuine and downright fantastic southern lady can be taken from us when she was sharing her heart with all of us. I am just beside myself with sadness at her passing and all those who have gone from our sight leaving us to wish we were with them again. The only comfort that I can take in this is knowing that everyone here on VR.com do share one common thing....and it's a biggie.....COMPASSION. Harrybaby

I don't know if I'll ever truly believe she's gone.

It almost feels like she is just "on vacation" and can't get to a computer. Though, I know that really isn't the case.

*sighs*

But, on a brighter note, quite the interesting conversation the other evening, eh, Niki? he he

Just wish she'd of known how much you all cared before she left us.

You nailed one of my "pet peeves", though it really isn't a full-fledged pet peeve ... perhaps just an annoyance. That being that we share fond memories and the like about someone AFTER they are dead. We don't do much of that while people are alive. Just seems backwards, is all.


Oh...and, Ann, you do know you can still talk to her ... just not the same way, of course .
