Bonnie once said to me how each of us leave footprints in the lives of others, that remain long after those who left them are gone from our lives. She touched many lives and left many footprints. The footprints she left in my life will be with me always.
As we move into a new year and face new challenges, I will miss Bonnie's positive energy. But I feel her spirit when I walk in the woods, touch a tree, admire a bug, watch a leader gain cooperation and collaboration with a smile and infinite patience. I have two trees that came to me as babies from Bonnie and we've seen them grow into adulthood. I wish she could see them in their wise old age, and that she could have enjoyed her family well into hers. And yet, with Bonnie's exuberant exploration of her many passions, it was as if she had already lived a lifetime beyond her years.
We met Bonnie when she worked for The Care of Trees. She was the consummate professional-- reliable, respectful and trust worthy. Most important our interaction with Bonnie showed she was a kind person. We are truly sorry for your loss.

Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of Bonnie. She always had an extra moment to spend talking about the beauty of the world around her as well as providing expert advice whether the contact was a business transaction or a casual meeting on the street. Her ready smile and patient manner encouraged anyone who was around. May your family be consoled by the memories which defined her as the wonderful person she was to whomever encountered her.
The world has lost a bright and shining light. Bonnie was always a wonderful friend and teacher to the Loudoun County Extension Master Gardeners and Tree Stewards. Always giving and lovely mentor. My deepest sympathies to the family - you are lifted in prayer for comfort and support.

Blessed be, sir.
