    Hi Jeanne, Donna and all the rest of the family: I was so sorry to see that your special Loved One has passed away. I know that all of you will miss her dearly but remember all the good times you had with her over the years as the memories are so special. I also have a few good memories of Bonnie while I lived back in Illinois. May God bless each one of you at this difficult time and remember that she has been called home to be with her Heavenly Father and others that have gone on before her.
    Take good care of each other. I know that most of the family don’t know me but I am Marilyn (Shehorn) Tarbutton the daughter of Lawrence Shehorn.
    With my deepest sympathy love and blessings, Marilyn
