I am so sorry for your loss. Bonnie was a mentor to me in my early years of nursing at Christian Hospital NW. she was strong and passionate and I couldn’t wait until I felt comfortable like her in my nursing position. Her passing has brought back some fond memories of working with Bonnie.
You left your mark Bonnie, may you Rest In Peace
