We are sorry for the loss of Bonnie. We will be unable to atend the funeral, but in spirit and prayer we will be with you. The apostle Paul shares God’s peace in all things – “Philippians 4:4-9
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
NIV

It was with a very sad heart that I heard the news of the passing of your dear Bonnie. Words fail in telling you just how badly we feel.
Bonnie was a delightful person, creative , hardworking and reliable.
As neighbours on Iler in Essex, we knew the Erskins to be loving, kind and generous. Bonnie was an exceptional Mother and the dearest friend to our family.

Bonnie…how very glad I am that you were able to come to Calgary this June. I always enjoyed your visits and your unique quirkiness that sometimes puzzled Teresa & I, but that often times made us smile and even laugh. You hold a special place in my heart. I am grateful to have known you. Love and hugs to your family & friends and all who also had the great fortune of knowing you!
I am so sorry to hear about your mom, Dawn. If ever I can be of help during this time, please don’t hesitate. Deepest sympathies to your family, give them hugs from me! In time, memories of the good times are comforting… I’ll be in touch soon. Bretta
I was able to see Bonnie when she visited Teresa annually. Once Teresa rented a cabin and I had my trailer and camped along with them. Bonnie never ceased to make me laugh with her dry comments and often light hearter joy in many things. Bless her heart. May your sorrow be relieved to know she is now whole again in a peaceful place….with lots of donuts. hugs…Colleen
Dear Bob, so sorry to learn of your loss, my prayers are with you and your daughters.
Claudia
I am so sorry about your loss. My thoughts are with your family at this time.
Every day, in every way Bonnie will be sadly missed. Too young to go, too kind to know how her presence enhanced our world. Softly there, never a complaint for care, strongly bared her lot. She lived, she gave, she cared, she dared…she bared and gave till the end. She will not be forgotten, her presence is still….her effect is permanent and her life is well appreciated. And even I, who have only known her for a short while, am grateful. Many wishes of lasting warmth from truly loving memories for Bonnie’s family, her friends and all who have lost such a precious soul. Her gifts are all still among us. I shall turn off lights at the end of my day, and with Bonnie in mind, I will say a prayer of thankfulness for God’s new dear angel.
Dear Dana;
We are sorry for the loss of your Mother. I know how special she was to you and the children. It is comforting to know she is whole and well with the Lord.I will pray for her and for your strength.
Love
Heather and Dave Cunningham

You will be missed by many Aunt Bon. So glad we got to see you this summer, it was always such a pleasure to have you around for visits. Such a happy, honest lady!! =)
My deepest sympathy to Uncle Cecil, my cousins, Bob, Dawn, Dana and Diana,
I am so sorry for the loss of Bonnie! I remember going to Essex with Uncle Cecil and Aunt Pearl when Diana was a baby and Bonnie was taking Dawn and Dana for a trip with Girl Guides and we stayed with Bob. Such a beautiful family. I had so much respect for Bonnie and I looked up to her. I hope I can be the Mother she was to my own children. She is now with the Lord and at peace and will always be with you.
Love Deborah (Ottawa)
