So sorry for your loss. Richard remembers Bonnie as a neighbor and friend. We remember that she painted the peak from our house that at one time and maybe still hangs in an office at Merck. Richard and Betty Lahman 2008-07-28 05:51:18

To the family of Bonnie Brill. I am very saddened by Bonnie's passing. Bonnie was a real \"Trooper\" during her illness. I have alot of respect for her. She was a First Class Lady in every respect. Know that my Prayers and Thoughts are with you. Bonnie has been a client of mine for many years and she will be missed. Douglas L. Berry 2008-07-28 08:14:10

My aunt was truly a remarkable woman. I loved her dearly and will miss her beyond measure. Thank you to everyone who took time to post here. Your friendship is a true blessing. I read this and thought of B-Bonnie and wanted to share it: I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” “Gone where?” Gone from my sight. That is all. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: “Here she comes!” And that is dying. Henry Van Dyke God speed. Heaven has gained an angel. Laurie Lancaster Giarrusso 2008-07-28 10:33:29

Bonnie was a walking testimony of grace as she battled cancer - there was never a time I didn't inquire about how she was doing that she didn't say with a smile "Great!" She will be very missed. You are all in our prayers. Bonnie & Lanny Burt Bonnie Burt 2008-07-30 13:33:15
