Dear Family,
I know we only met a few times and for that I'll always be greatful. I am a neice of Aunt Bonnie's. I am Lorene's daughter. I read in the Decatur paperthat Aunt bonnie passed away and my heart sank. She was my only link to my Mother and the Last time I saw her ( about 1 1/2 years) she didn't know me. I live in Griffin Ga. I have know other way to contact you all because I couldn't find anybody's phone# in the book. I would love to hear from one of you. Thank you so much and my sympathy to all of you.
