I had the pleasure of woring with Bonnie at Lancaster Neuroscience and Spine Associates. I absolutely loved her! She was kind and loving and non-judgemental. We always exchanged gifts at holidays and kept in contact over the years. I am at a loss for words as I was viewing the paper and came across her obituary. Please know that she will be dearly missed and I will keep yr family in my prayers. Dea Murray
