Aunt Bonnie was truly a lovely lady. My memories are when Uncle Larry and Aunt Bonnie lived off the lake. She was so sweet to make sure I understood what was going on if my mom or grandma Rose wasn’t near me. Always loved her smiles and you would felt the love from them. She will be missed. Dawn Allen-Rouser Rose Harter is my grandmother.
