As I ponder the words to explain my feelings of loosing my sister Bonnita I rest in the Peace of God that God has called her to Heaven to fulfill His will that Bonnita is in the presence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I look forward to gathering with all our loved ones In Heaven as we rejoice in Jesus. Amen

Our Dearest "Big" Sis No words can explain how we are feeling right now, we never thought we would lose you so soon. Another piece of our hearts have been ripped out. Our only comfort is knowing you are singing and dancing and probably get up to mischief with Dad and all the other special Angels in heaven. We will cherish every moment and all the memories of you forever, your laughter, your smiles, your kind nature as well as the fiery one. We are blessed to have been apart of your life and to call you our Sister. FOREVER GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. WE LOVE YOU SIS. Rodney & Sarah, Cameron & Mione & Chayse, Kiara & Storm, Savannah & Matt, Keegan.

My Girl (Bonnie), you were taken far too soon from us and I'm devastated and heartbroken. Girl you were a very special gift given to Dad and I by Jesus Christ our God and savior. Girl now you have no more pain and suffering from all your operations, cancer and accident, you were the most loving, caring person and always thought of everyone else instead of yourself. Now who am I gonna talk to every second day on WhatsApp, because you're not with us anymore. Girl Rest In Peace my special child and I will see you one day, I love you my precious girl, from your loving mom

Bev

Sweet sweet Bonnie. My heart is broken by the tragic loss of such a kind soul. I have known you since you were a toddler from Gwelo days. You have always been so happy and smiling. Such a young life too. Far too young πŸ’” condolences to Bev, Minnie and all your siblings.

Oh my Old Queen. You are such an amazing Ball of fire. Full of life and love. All of that is gone from us now. Sadly I never got to see you hitting Manuel with your handbag. I hear that was quite the scene. But I do remember you at the motorbike racing. You where the smallest but the loudest. Your love for everyone was like a bright light. Thank you for every lesson you taught me. For ever time you shouted and cheered for us all. For being a beacon of light in the dark. I love you will always miss you. Angelique

Angelique

Oh my dear Vetlet, you have left a huge hole in all of our lives since the Lord Jesus came to fetch you for a greater purpose. You were the greatest little big sister anyone could ever have and I thank the Lord Jesus for letting you spend time with us here on earth albeit a short 58 years. I'm going to miss you so much, all I ask is that you don't give dad and the rest of the family in heaven a hard time. I love you my sis and I look forward until we meet again. Rest in peace my Vetlet
