She loved animals and used to take our labs for long runs and walks on the desert trails by the house.

Bonnie was a companion, friend, mother, and will be greatly missed by her family and friends. She had a beautiful smile that made me light up each day when I would visit her at Aspen. When I would enter, she would greet me with a big smile and say "there's my daddy" or "there's my honey, or "there's my Tommy". I miss these so much.

Bonnie became an avid football fan, right after we got married. We used to watch NFL games together. Her favorite team was the Oakland Raiders, mine is the Denver Broncos. At one time, when we lived in Cypress, we had season tickets for the Raider games.
