Condolences

The family of Yvonne N. “Bonnie” Passe has received the following condolences.

I had just learned of Bonnie's passing from my folks and wanted to send my thoughts and prayers.  Bonnie was like a second mom growing up in the neighborhood; from scolding me out for picking Helen Nass's flowers to sewing my confirmation dress. I think I will remember her best for her chocolate chip cookies and her love for Andy Williams! 

All our thoughts and prayers on this day for all the Passse family. May the perpetual light shine upon her.

Tim Passe & Family,

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. 

May you find joy & peace as you remember & celebrate your mother's life and may God give you comfort as you grieve her passing.

Mark & Cindy Sorensen

Dad wanted to pass along his sincerest sympathy to the Passe family at this time of sadness.  

He remembers Bonnie fondly, especially how mom would have her bake birthday cakes for Dawn and I.  

He wishes he could attend the funeral, but his mobility is limited.  

He also says that he hopes Earl is doing ok.

 

Sharon & Family -

Sending you prayers of peace, hugs of love and our deepest sympathies on the passing of your mom and grandma. 

Smile at your memories of her and let those memories bring you joy and peace.

Love,

The Meier's
