Wade and I have many happy memories with Uncle Homer and Aunt Bonnie, both in Texas City and the beautiful home they built in Starks. In Texas City, I remember playing the piano while we all sang hymns. If I am not mistaken, hers was a lovely alto voice.
Bonnie always had a sweet smile on her face when she greeted anyone. Great cook–oh my, what a meal she could put together. I was particularly fond of her from scratch, old fashioned peach cobbler. The crust was my favorite part.
And her quilts! Beautiful!!! I so wish we had bought one of her all hand stitched masterpieces all those years ago. They were amazing.
Twilla, you were everything your mother needed and wanted her last few years. She was blissfully happy.
You will be greatly missed, Aunt Bonnie.
