Ras & Marchia Sartor Family extend our deepest sympathy to you dear cousin John and family on the passing of Bonnie. We always know that God has a plan for each of our lives, unfortunately, we don’t know what the plan is. Cherish the fond memories that you were blessed to share with Bonnie while she was here on earth. May it bring comfort and peace to you and family to know that you don’t have to go through this difficult period in your life alone. You are loved and have family support to help you through this most difficult time. Praying God’s blessings, strength and peace.
Sincerely,
Ras & Marchia Sartor and Family

My condolences to the family on the loss of their matriarch Bonita.

She was such a loving and giving person to children and dogs.

We shared some time together as neighbors 2006-2018. My favorite story of her was in 2008 when the hood was being overrun with squatters. We often walked our dogs in the alley behind one of the squatters homes on the block and after many days of surveillance we decided to take action (since the bank wouldn’t). So she stood lookout holding the pups while I removed a temp tag and let air out of the tires of the squatter car. She was a good friend. Witty, practical, gentle natured and empathetic . The world was a better place while she was in it. Peace be with you my friend, you deserve the rest. 🕊️❤️
