Our deepest sympathy to you Bonnie and your family. Miss seeing the two of you at the many church soup suppers and going to the Kent Feed suppers and the annual open house at Farmers Livestock Market. Good times spent with great friends and many memories left to cherish. Will always remember the friendship that we had. Take Care. Friends, Kenny & Linda Shaw
