Condolences & Memories (17 entries)

• This June 8th makes it the 8th year of your passing - something that I shake my head at, as it still seems like it just happened - our losing you, That pain has never gone away. Each and everyday, you are thought of with love and remembrance, and a wish that you and Jack, were still here to be with us as we used to be - just talking on the phone, or visiting each other or sharing in family get togethers - all of which you and Jack were such a big part of. Life is not the same without you - you cared so much about family - your boys and their families, and your siblings and their families - always concerned about everyone's well being. Your love of kids especially, (you would have made a great kindergarten teacher) and equally your love of animals, especially dogs, was second to none, as well as your generous heart (both you and Jack). And now Art is with you and Jack, and the rest of the family. We miss him so much too, but take comfort in that he has you. Despite Holly's age, she is doing as well as can be expected and I am thankful that we got to share her with you. Please give Molly and Maddie a pat for me. Love and miss you always and forever, Bon and Jack. Love Pat...and the rest of the family. - Posted by: Pat Winn (sister) on: Jun 10, 2025

• Dear Bonnie (Bon) Well here it is, the 7th anniversary of your passing. The time has flown although it still seems like it just happened, as the pain in losing you never seems to go away. It just goes to show you, how much you meant to all of us, and that we continue to miss you each and everyday as life goes on. Bon - we miss your caring ways, your sense of humor and fun, and your love and concern for all the family. You and Jack were always there for all of us, anytime we needed you - something that we will never forget. And now our beloved brother Art has joined you and Jack - a loss that we are still reeling from. But we know that your reunion would have been a special, joyous one. So we will try and take comfort in the fact that Art is with you and Jack and other family members now, watching over us. So many memories in our minds to keep you close that remain important - I only wish that we had had more time together. I end this as I always do, by saying that you will always be missed and loved forever. Love,,your sister Pat and all the family P.S. y Your Holly is missing our Molly. Losing her so recently has been hard. Please give Molly (and Maddie - who would have been so happy to be with Molly again) a hug - Posted by: Pat Wimm (Sister) on: Jun 13, 2024

• Dear Bonnie (Bon) This year is especially hard, as each day coincides with what happened 6 years ago when we lost you. It's hard to believe that 6 years have gone by when it still seems like yesterday. Please know, that you are always in our hearts and our minds and that you are thought of with love and fond memories for all the days we had together - happy times, sad times - all the special family times and just the everyday moments. You (and Jack) were and always will be remembered for your love of family - both your immediate family as well as the rest of us. I miss talking with you, laughing with you, planning with you, celebrating with you, I miss being with you - I just miss you (and Jack)..each and everyday. Things are not the same without you. I know that you and Jack will continue to watch over us. Love you Bon.. Love your sister Pat and all the family. - Posted by: Pat Winn (sister) on: Jun 07, 2023

• Dear Bonnie, With this June 8th being the 5th year of your passing, it is hard to believe that 5 years have gone by, when it still seems like just yesterday that we lost you. A day that left a void in our lives forever. Your 75th birthday celebration was so special that year - it would have been so nice to have been able to celebrate your 80th this year, in the same manner. It would have been great to have us all singing along to "Sweet Caroline" once again, and enjoying all the other fun like we had that evening. We have to take comfort in knowing that your beloved Jack has now joined you, and we have you both watching over your family and the rest of us. We miss your caring ways, your generous heart, the way you always made sure to include everyone - never wanting to leave anyone out. Memories will always keep you near, because we have so many treasured ones to remember - so many good times and sad ones too, that you and Jack were a part of. Family meant everything to you. (and Jack too) And you in turn, mean everything to us. You and Jack were always the first in line if anyone needed anything - something that we all appreciated. LIfe changes have to be accepted, but one thing that will never change, and that is, that your presence will forever be missed - just as it is today. You could never be forgotten. Love you always, Bon - from Pat (Deed) From your sons and their families who we know you and Jack are so proud of, and from your brothers and sisters and their families. (Jena - a Mom now)... p.s. Holly is doing ok, Bon. Could you give our Maddie a hug and a kiss from Earl and I - we miss her so. And one on behalf ot The Neufeld's for their Abby as well. - Posted by: Pat Winn (sister) on: Jun 08, 2022

• Bonnie, June 8th - the 4th year of your passing, nothing has changed in terms of how much you are missed, thought of, each and everyday, always in our thoughts and hearts. The pandemic keeps us apart, but conversations about you when we talk, keep you close. Oh to have you back again to talk with, laugh with, plan with, and just be with. Love you forever, Bon. - Your husband Jack and Holly, your boys and their families, your siblings and their families. Your loving sister, Pat. - Posted by: Pat Winn (sister) on: Jun 08, 2021

• It's hard to believe that it's been 3 years, Bon, and nothing's changed - you are missed as much today by Jack, your boys and their families, myself, and the rest of the family. (Holly too). You are thought of every day, with a constant wish that we could have had more time to spend with you, to be together as we used to be, as your passing has left a huge void in our lives. With love and remembrance, always. - Posted by: Pat Winn (sister) on: Jun 07, 2020

• On Jack's behalf from your sister Pat To my beloved wife - Miss you Bonnie (Bon) today and everyday - your loving husband Jack and Holly. - Posted by: Pat Winn (sister) on: Jun 07, 2019

• Dear Bon, It's hard to believe that 2 years have gone by since we lost you. I knew that I would miss you - I just didn't realize how much and it hasn't changed since your passing. Our talks, laughs, plans, your interest in what was going on with everyone - but also, just being with you - I miss them all, as do all the family, especially Jack and your boys. Family gatherings - no matter what the occasion, are just not the same without you there, Bon. You were and continue to be, so important to all of us. We know that you will be keeping a watch over the newest members of the family. We wish that we could be together in the same old way, but we know that can't be. So we hold our cherished memories of you, close to our hearts. Jack and Holly are doing ok. Love and miss you always, Bon... your sister Pat and the rest of the family. - Posted by: Pat Winn (sister) on: Jun 07, 2019

• Pat is putting this in, on my behalf, since I am unable to. To my beloved wife, Bonnie/Bon, who we lost one year ago today, June 8. After all our years together, terrible (Jack's word) that you are gone. I miss you and wish that you were here as do Rod, Derrick, Sean and Ryan and their families. Derrick and Sean worked hard to keep me in the house, but that didn't work out. So Sean has done his best to find me a safe place to live and take care of things. I am doing alright, so try not to worry about me. Until we're together again, love you always... Jack (and Holly) - Posted by: Jack Black (Husband) on: Jun 08, 2018

• And so here it is Bon, June 8th, a year has flown by since we lost you, and yet, it still seems like a terrible dream, that we wish that we could wake up from - and you would be here face to face, talking and laughing, and planning family get togethers. All the traits that made you, you, are what we think of today and everyday, and what we remember ..your kind, caring ways, your concern for others, your generous heart, your sense of fun, your love of family - first and foremost, for your 4 great sons and their families, as well as your brothers, sisters and their families, and in addition, your friends.. You always had the uncanny ability to connect with kids. Your grandchildren, especially the little ones, as well as nieces and nephews gravitated towards you, because you always made time for them, and were interested in what they had to say, or what was going on in their lives. Having Skype/Facetime was a blessing for you and the ones who live away. Your love of animals, especially dogs was second to none. They way you helped Mom, Gram and Aunt Syb, and Aunt Alma over the years made you were a born caregiver, Bon but we knew that of you from an early age... I miss talking to you about things and shows... Heartland, and Dancing with the Stars and sports like figure skating, horse racing, hockey, baseball, squeeky shoes (basketball) going for Boston, and so many more.. You put on such a brave face in your final days for all of our sakes - you are one strong woman, Bon - my hero. Life will never be the same without you.. Let there be consolation in that you are reunited with Mom and Dad, Gram and Grandpa, and Aunt Syb, and your pets who went before you. They say time heals, but the pain of losing you is as real today, as in the hour you passed away. You will remain forever in our thoughts and hearts, - love you Bon.. Pat (Deed) and all the family. - Posted by: Pat Winn (sister) on: Jun 07, 2018

• Hard to believe Bon, a year has passed since we had your big 75th birthday celebration May 26th for your actual birthday May 27th. It was such a wonderful occasion with family and friends and you looked so nice. Not a day goes by that you are not thought of with love and a wish that you were still here with us, just to talk or share in family times. You are so missed. Someone as full of life as you and so interested in our lives, could never be forgotten. You will always be in our hearts and minds... Love and miss you forever. Pat and the rest of the family. P.S. Jack and Holly are doing ok, Bon. - Posted by: Pat Winn (sister) on: May 27, 2018

• Rod,Derrick,Sean,and Ryan, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a lovely lady who helped 'keep us line' as we grew up. I am so glad that your children were able to get to know her. Thinking of you and your Dad at this time. My thoughts are with you all. Judy (Himick) Fedorchuk - Posted by: Judy (Himick) Fedorchuk (Family friend) on: Jun 19, 2017

• Sending lots of love and hugs to the entire Black family. I am so sorry to hear this news. Bonnie was always so lovely and kind to me and I will always remember her very fondly. - Posted by: Leeanna (Davey) () on: Jun 13, 2017

• Lily, Jack and I will miss Bonnie dearly. She was always loving, accepting, and so joyful whenever we got the chance to talk. We cherished the time we got to spend with her. I still giggle about how she always wanted to take my son to Toys R Us even when his behavior wasn't the greatest. That actually made her want to take him more. Lily also had a special spot in her heart and it was always evident. I appreciate not only how she treated us and everyone else but also how she raised her boys. I can honestly say I appreciate that now more than ever and will do my best to take what I've learned from her and instill that in my own children. We will honor her memory by passing on her generosity and unconditional love to others. Lily, Jack, and I wish your entire family peace, comfort and healing knowing that Bonnie is in a better place, watching down on us all. She will always be with us. God bless you all. - Posted by: Karen Black, Lily and Jackson Heebsh () on: Jun 12, 2017

• Remember the fun we had as kids growing up in Stonewall. Thinking of Bonnie's family at this time sad time. - Posted by: Pat (doubleday)Croy (School friend from Stonewall ) on: Jun 11, 2017

• I am so saddened to hear that Bonnie has passed away. We shared some fun times as kids growing up in Stonewall - at that time we were all neighbours and friends. Though I hadn't seen Bonnie in the last many years I was able to keep up on her and her family through her siblings living in Stonewall. My deepest and sincere sympathy to all the family.
