  4. Q: How did you meet Ellen “Bonnie”?

    A: I’ve always known her as my first cousin on my Dad’s side of the family. Her mom Frankie was my aunt. And we were best friends. Bonnie was always off on the road with Her so it was hard to connect with her sometimes. Bonnie and I became really good friends when my Dad ,James (Jim) Hickman passed away and the three of them came down to Leesburg Florida to be with me and my wife until he passed away. Bonnie,Frankie and I had a lot of long talks then.. I am just now finding about Bonnie, I spent half of 2021 in the hospital paralyzed on my left side from my waste down.. Bonnie and I called each other once or twice a month since 1999 and I spoke with her when Frankie called. I tried many times from the VA hospital but her phone had been disconnected so I knew something was up. You don’t know how many times I almost called in for missing persons, but now I know she is save in the land of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and God the father of all living things on earth. I will also rest easier now that I know where she is and where I will be going. My Dad passed less than a month before he would have turned 92 amazing. Love to all the family.

    • Mother always enjoyed talking with you. She was glad to have the friendship you shared over the years. You always made her smile. ❤️ I will keep you in my prayers 🙏 Hank. There will be a glorious reunion in eternity when we are all together again with Jesus … I so look forward to THAT DAY!!☝️💖
      Hugs 🤗 love ❤️ n prayers 🙏 Lyn Bass Gruen #2 daughter 😂
