Bonnie was my best friend growing up in Forest Hills, Queens, NY. We were like sisters since we were " only" children. We went to school together, did our homework together every school day! When her mom would return from work, I would walk home for dinner. We stayed friends through high school, college and until our marriages. Beyond that, as well. I am truly saddened by her untimely loss. LOVE YOU ALWAYS, BON From Your pal, Susan

Q: What will you never forget about Bonnie?
A: Bonnie was a 2nd sister to me - as we grew up together in Forest Hills. She never complained about anything (except politics!) and would always tell you she was fine - even when you knew she was not.
She was always happy and cheerful and if you needed cheering up - she was always there for you and happy to do it.
Beautiful, caring, nurturing and wonderful - that's Bonnie - and now, eternally peaceful!

I knew of Bonnie through her cousin Ria Hawks, and I was fortunate to spend time with Bonnie in the last months of her life. Bonnie had a warm heart and a generous spirit. She possessed a sense of equanimity in the face of adversity, and her courage was inspiring. She found strength in family and friends, and maintained a welcoming and gracious home even as her strength waned. May the sorrow of her passing be offset by the many happy memories of her abundant life.

Bonnie was kind, gentle and loving. As a boy and teenager, I always felt that she was sincerely interested and excited to see me every time my family came to visit her family in Queens. She and all her family members were always so happy and full of joy to see us. Bonnie especially always showed loving kindness to me. She would even kid me in the sweetest manner. I would always blush, and felt honored, when she would make fun of me in her good natured way. Her smile would lite up the darkest room. She was my favorite first cousin in our family when I was a boy.
Maya Angelou once wrote/said: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
This is how I remember Bonnie. Nothing she said or did holds a memory in my mind. I have not seen her in many years. What she did is she made me feel loved. Her love is eternally etched on my heart. That I will never forget.

I never met Bonnie but I knew her through her cousin,
and my friend, Angela.
Over the years Angela would tell me about Bonnie's
trials and tribulations of cancer. I always admired
her courage and strength. Bonnie fought the good fight and never looked back. May she soon be in heaven.
My condolences to all those who loved her.

I will always remember Bonnie's bravery and sense of humor. But most of all her concern and compassion for others. Bonnie was a very special person who I was fortunate to know.

I'm grateful I had the chance to get to know Bonnie as colleagues at the hospital and also that we kept in touch after we both retired.
I'll always remember her kindness, her positive outlook & her beautiful smile.

They say that when good friends haven’t seen each other for a long time, when they reunite, it is as if they never separated. The conversation continues where it left off. So, it was with me and my cousin Bonnie.
Bonnie and I are cousins on the Hawks side of the family. My father, Graham, also fondly known as Uncle Meanie, and Bonnie’s father Charlie were brothers. We used to visit Bonnie in Forest Hills when we were kids. I remember playing in the park, across the street from Bonnie’s house, with Bonnie, Angela, occasionally joined by Peter Pat and trailed by my baby brother, known as G.G then. Cops and robbers, hiding in the bushes, probably politically incorrect Cowboys and Indians, guns with caps, but it was in the middle of the 1950’s.
The kodak Brownie pictures are faded, but the memories are clear. Memories of birthdays and summers and of her wedding. However, life has a way of rolling on. We followed very diverse paths eventually to similar careers, but with a different style, to care for others: Bonnie as a Social Worker and I as a Nurse. A funeral, then a few years later, a wedding brought us together again and each time it was as if not a single day had gone by. The rhythm of our friendship, and the bonds of the tiny Hawks family solidified our lasting relationship.
We had another bond too, that of cancer. While she was dealing with relapse, she made me feel that I would be OK. Not to worry, take one day at a time. I don’t know how she did it.
She gave me strength before my scans and after. Hers were bad, mine were good. So hard to comprehend.
Over the past several years, we kept in touch with more frequency, although mostly from a distance facilitated by texts and phone. I am forever grateful that she reached out at the point of her last recurrence. The intimate time we shared in these last four months will remain a strength for me. While it awakens regret that we did not see more of each other, it fills me with a sense of awe and pride that Bonnie was my cousin. She had such a loving open heart, she led with kindness. As stated in Proverbs Chapter 31 Verse 25:
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”
Bonnie brought joy to so many. During our last visit, we found ourselves giggling, like kids.
I can still hear our years of laughter.
