Kim Fulton says: I didn’t get to spend much time with Aunt Bonnie, as we lived so far away. But the times that we did get to visit over the years, I remember how “gentle” of a person she was. She was kind and smiled a lot. Uncle Townsend, being the quintessential cowboy and slow taker was always someone I looked up to. You could tell he loved her very much. Now we’ve lost almost all of that “greatest generation” of parents and grandparents that we always thought would just be there. Such a loss. But, we’ll see them again someday. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of my cousins for this loss.❤️
