Ms Bonnie, as we knew her, a lovely lady, always professional and organized. As quiet and modest as she was, she could also be the center of attention. I shared many laughs listening to some of her stories of all the chiefs and officers she worked with over the years. She was a dedicated public servant. Giving over 30 years to the community of Port Barre. One cannot think of Port Barre police without the thought of Ms Bonnie. She was loved and will be dearly missed. Rest well Ms Bonnie.
