    Greg and family I know patty will be missed greatly. I have only knew her a few years, but I have worked with Greg a lifetime and he always spoke highly of her. I am glad I got to spend that Tuesday with her and meet the family, it was a great time. I am also glad she got to enjoy the waffles we took her. Please be strong all of you and watch over Greg, your mom was his world!!!! But, she would want you all to go on and be strong and hold your heads high like she did till the end.
    My thoughts and prayers be with the whole family.

    Greg, Jonus, Jeremiah and entire Dray family, It is with a heavy heart that i write how sorry I am for the loss of Patty. She was one of the best friends a person could have. You did not have to be in constant contact with her to know that she would always be there for you, and I would always be there for her. I have so many memories of her and the entire family over the years. When the kids were little and we had so many get togethers. Then as peoples lives changed and moved on, over the years, you lose track on a daily basis. I will never forget my friendship with Patty. It was one of a kind. I loved her dearly. I am very blessed that I got to have her in my life. I am so glad I was able to visit with her during her last days. We always made it a point to call each other on each others birthdays. It was a joke that I was always a day late. I did not get to call this year, but I am glad I wished her an early birthday this year…………….May she be at peace and free of pain. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time and will continue to be in my thoughts as you continue to go through life without her earthly presence. My love to all of you.

    My deepest condolences to the Bonnell family, may you find comfort in prayer and the beautiful words of Isaiah 25:8 where God promises us that He will soon eliminate all death and suffering.
