Brenda and Bob, we are so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. We are also sorry that we will not be able to be with you today. Mom is here at the lake with us.
We have lots of wonderful memories of times in the cow barns. I'm sure your parents are reliving some of the old days.
You are in our prayers.

Bob & Brenda, sorry to here about your mom,I think you had the best mom of anyone I know,I feel bad that I cannot be there today for the funeral,I am working in Texas but Jonni will be there for me today.It was always a joy for me to be around your mom, I don't think I have ever seen someone that loved her family as much as Bonnie, she has been a great example to me and my family,don't tell my wife but I always thought she was the best cook, I remember when we used to work on the farm she would put on a feast and she always had some home made pie, it was good!she will be missed greatly.Jeff Vandenburg.
