Laurie, Tom and Terry,
There are no words that allow me to adequately express condolences on Bonnie’s passing. NE Lincoln won’t be the same. I will miss her smile, her concern about “how are you doing” and the true end of the “coffee ladies.” She was a treasure and I know I speak for a large number of LNE students who she treated like one of her own. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers and that I hope the pain is soon replaced by all of the beautiful memories.
Laurie, Gom and Terry,
I am sorry to learn of Bonnie’s passing. It brings back happy memories of the many handball dinner parties we had and the games of handball (and football) that Dale and Tom played in. Bonnie was a great person I will always remember.
What a wonderful lady. Her and Tom raised three very good kids who were hardworking and successful business people. She took pride in their accomplishments and always took time to chat with you when running into her. She will be missed. Our deepest sympathy to Tom Jr., Terry, and Laurie. Terry & Jan Monk
Sorry to hear about the passing of Bonnie. My Mom would call her a “good egg”. Quite the compliment. My condolences to Tom, Terry, Laurie and their families.
Sincerest condolences to the family just found out
I’m sorry for your loss. I didn’t know your mom, but I know that you have a great family. May you find solace in great memories. Prayers.
We send our deepest sympathy to Tom. Terry and Laurie. Toni and Joe Hamersky
Such a graceful lady and great friend to our mother. She will be missed. Harry and Gale Foreman
