Update: It is with a saddened heart that I share Bonnie has passed away peacefully at home with her family on 12/22/2025. For those that have shared, prayed, and donated I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This family still needs the prayers and any support from you. Tomorrow there will be a meeting with the funeral home to prepare arrangements.

Just five days before Christmas, our family received heartbreaking news: my best friend’s mother-in-law came home on hospice care. While we are grateful she is able to be surrounded by love and family during this time, the emotional and financial weight of preparing for funeral expenses has been overwhelming—especially during the holiday season.

She has always been a source of strength, kindness, and warmth for everyone who knew her. Her love for her family and friends has touched so many lives, and her presence has been a guiding light through both joyful and challenging times. As the family faces this difficult transition, we want to honor her legacy by coming together to support them in any way we can.

This fundraiser is to help ease the burden of funeral and end-of-life costs so the family can focus on what truly matters right now: spending meaningful time together, finding comfort, and honoring a life that meant so much to so many. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward funeral arrangements and related expenses. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers means more than you know.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
