Sincere sympathy to Dr. Potvin and your family. Bonnie was such a special lady. She was so kind and caring to our Mother, Ina. Bonnie treated all who met her with her warm personality. One just felt special speaking with her. I enjoyed reading Bonnie's obituary. May your cherished memories help to console you as you celebrate a life well lived.

Hello Earle and family,
Carole and I are shocked to hear the passing of Bonnie. Our GT family as well as the Pontiac has just lost a real special person. I looked forward to seeing Bonnie around town and in our store. Her sense of humour made a days work easier and difinately a lot more fun.
Spring and the opening of the garden centre will not be the same this year as Bonnie would nicely threaten me each store visit to "keep Earle away ", which was impossible but she made humour if it.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Earle and family, may Bonnie rest in forever peace.
Your GT friends,
Ken and Carole Pack

Bonnie was a classmate of mine at OCH, and my heart is saddened by her passing. I will remember her for her sense of humor during training no matter what trials and tribulations we were experiencing!! She was a funny lady and I loved her dearly!! I will miss her at our reunion, because she would always come up to me and say "hey Arbuckle are you still and American!!!" My thoughts and prayers are with you all, and know that Bonnie will live in my heart forever. God Bless, susan singleton, Tulsa, Oklahoma

Dr.Potvin, William, Derek, James,Jason and families:
I am profoundly saddened to hear of your loss. We all have fond memories of Bonnie. Mine are of her as a parent to her boys while they were students at PPHS. When Bonnie came to parent-teacher evenings to talk about her boys we were assured of a kind of a break in the stress that came with meeting parents. Her wit was spontaneous , her visits were brief but each one was so welcome! She will be missed by everyone who was fortunate to have met her. May she rest in peace.
May God bless each of You.
Deepest Condolences.

There are no words to describe how much Bonnie will be missed. Her quick wit, her deep love & devotion to her family and friends, will be irreplaceable. I will miss her laugh, her Friday visits, and most of all her kindness to me, especially since I lost Brad. She always made sure that special occasions were covered. A true friend to all of my family, a lady I have known for most of my life. Keep her memories alive, for she will always be near you, and watching over you in spirit. God Bless.
