SAYING GOODBYE TO BONITA IS HARD.... BUT LETS... SAY GOOD NIGHT! 2 Corinthians 5:8 (KJV) to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Death is not the end. Death is really a beginning—another step forward in Heavenly Father's plan for His children. Someday, like everyone else, your physical body will die. But your spirit does not die, it goes to the spirit world, where you will continue to learn and progress and maybe with loved ones who have passed on. Death is a necessary step in your progression, just as your birth was. Sometime after your death, your spirit and your body will be reunited—never to be separated again. This is called resurrection, and it was made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (see 1 Corinthians 15:20-22). Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. But Love leaves memories no one can steal. BLANCHE HENLEY AUGUSTUS

.....Rest In Heaven Cousin Bonita ....Love Brenda Robinson & Robinson's family
There is nothing more painful than losing a loved one and no amount of sympathy or consolation is going to bring back the long-gone loved one. Cousin Bonita your passing stunned me and I am still in disbelief. I am now convinced that God takes the special ones cuz He wanted you with Him. I thank God for allowing you to be a part of my life. Your job is done here on earth & now it's time for you to rest. God needed you the most because He only wanted the best.
My deepest condolences to you all. Bonita was a kind,compassionate person. She had drive and determination. A passion for business and administration. Her great sense of humor and genuine smile and laughter. She was the ultimate Grandmother. May the Lord comfort you all.
It's Okay'
I cried again today, as I struggle with my pain, the weight of my heart is heavy, overwhelmed and I am emotionally drained. I held your hand, cried, and prayed, as I heard you gently whispered "Shhh, it's okay." I felt despair today, lost in a stare into space. With my vision stirred, and a rub of my forehead, it was your laughter that I heard. I cried again today, genuine Crocodile tears flowed down my face. I so often recall a facial expression or lighthearted humor, in my direction. I will always remember that phrase you say "DON'T LET THE BESSIE IN ME COME OUT TODAY" I will forever remember "Shhh, it's okay" We lost a sister, mother, grandmother, auntie on this August day. A warrior of God shielded by her faith. Yes, her journey through life was by God's amazing grace. A strong, courageous woman we loss on this August day. Oh Lord my God, as we pray, we ask that you bless our baby-sister Bonita Faye. Affectionally, known as "NeNe" she was special in every way! she touched the lives of many each day. NeNe was a kind remarkable woman with a beautiful, and compassionate soul, who loved living life and sharing her happiness. Revelation 21:4 {KJV) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Rest in Heaven, Your Loving Brothers and Sisters
