Our hearts go out to the family. I worked with Bonnie at The Sentinel in the '70s, and she and Bill showed us many a kindness then and even after I left.

My sincere sympathy to Bonnie's family. During the 1960's, I was employed at The Sentinel and Bonnie was the most delightful member of the newsroom staff. She was the personality plus Social Editor, always having a positive attitude and a smile. I have never forgotten her.

Dear All,
I counted Bill and Bonnie as my parent's coolist friends. Bonnie was so full of life and was active in things most women were not involved in during those days. She was interesting, exciting and fun--not to mention her good heart. A life well lived is what I believe! When I think of Lewistown, I will always think about your family. My sister B.Anne kept me up-to-date whenever she went home for reunions. She phoned me to let me know your mother had transitioned to her new home.
Blessings to all of you and know you will be in my prayers.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Mrs. Snedeker's passing. She and Mr. Snedeker are forever in my heart. The world has lost a great champion of the animals in Mrs. Snedeker -- and a gracious, generous, loving woman.

Our condolences to Bonnie's family. Dick worked at The Sentinel with Bonnie in the early 1970s and we were the beneficiaries of many kindnesses, large and small, from her. She and Bill were wonderful people. We are better for having known her.

Joe and I send our deep sympathy to Jan and the family upon the death of Bonnie. She was a kind, loving friend of my parents and of our mutual friend, Tom Reiss. She was very proud of Jan & Karen along with their families.

Sincerely,
Diana
