Tributes
"I was in Antigo awhile back and stopped by to see Bonnie at her home and reminisced about the good old days. The birthday and Christmas parties in particular. We laughed about the boys (Phillip and Bill) getting into trouble. a few years later I spoke with Rita and she explained that Bonnie no longer was able to hold a conversation or remember who the relatives were. Bonnie is now in a better place. Her cousin Gail M Douglas 715 498 7917"
