In memory of Bonnie Jean Green, KBattle lit a candle
I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Bonnie Jean Green. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We can pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 The bible also promises that God will wipe out every tear from [our] eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. (Revelation 214) How comforting and reassuring that is! May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer

She is with her son Mark. I know she is finally at peace and is in Gods hands right now. I will surely miss her laugh her smile and her honesty in everything she did Love you Bonnie
Dear Valerie, Our loving thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Patti & Joe
Bonnie was and continues to be a cherished gift from the Almighty God. I have known her as a patient but she has touched my life as a true servant and instrument of God. She continued to display His strength and glory in all she did and each time I saw her. I will miss her with all my heart but I thank God for how she was a part of my life. Psalm 11516 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants. I pray for God’s continued peace and love for Mr. Green and her family.
My sincere condolences to the family. May your many fine memories of Bonnie and loving words comfort family and friends during this difficult time and the days ahead (Isaiah 5715)
