    Mrs. Bonnie was a special lady that I have known since childhood. She always had a smile and never failed to hug me whenever we saw each other -- which was usually at the grocery store. The Jordan children, 2 families of McClain children and many others grew up in the N. Main/Ross Ave. neighborhood of the 60's; there were a lot of special mom's in that neighborhood. Mrs. Bonnie showed love to her children and the rest of us kids. Terry, Jerry and Cindy - you have my sympathy and prayers.
