We always enjoyed seeing you at the band gigs and how much fun you would have dancing to Mustang Sally, you are always gonna be in our thoughts. God bless your sweet heart and may you rest in peace!

    So many memories, where to begin… I have known Bonnie since 1986, when I always see her, we gave each other a hug, and she would always give me a kiss on the cheek. She and Hodgie always showed up at our band gigs, no matter where we played. I am so saddened by her passing, and will truly miss this very special lady.

  8. Chuck & Kathy Oliver January 3, 2014 at 3:37 am

    Bonnie will be deeply missed by all of us that knew her from the Eagles & the Moose Lodge. It will not be the same not seeing her and Hodgie dancing. She always had a smile.
    She will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

    Bonnie you will be very missed by many. Some of the fondest memories include you and Hodgie. I remember waiting for you two to drive by each day and you would stop and chat for a few minutes and leave me with a handful of classic bubblegum when I was younger. My prayers are with you all. We love you and if you need anything please don’t hesitate to ask.

    These are probably the hardest words we’ve had to utter in a long time…… a dear friend has been called home to the Lord’s Kingdom. Bonnie was one of the few people that made Frankfort a good place to live and now she’s gone. We loved seeing her on the back of that scooter just as happy as she wanted to be, never upset, never discouraged, never complacent in her situation…. she was by definition a beautiful person…………. we send our deepest condolences to the Higer family, our hearts will always be with you and our prayers go out to you…. we are tremendously sorry for your loss….. Eternally, Hassan & Kelli Coleman

    The world will be a bit dimmer without Bonnie’s bright smile and upbeat attitude. She will be missed and remembered by all whose life she touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Bonnie, we in our family will miss you so much. You and Hodgie was always so kind to me and my grandchildren, the kids would always say, here come our grandma and grandpa with chewing gum. RIP Bonnie

  14. Barbara McCarty January 3, 2014 at 6:28 pm

    Hodgie: Just read where Bonnie had past away. I was so shocked to hear this. I have been away from Frankfort for over 7 years, and seeing you and Bonnie is one thing I really miss. I went to school with Bonnie and always enjoyed her. She will be missed. I use to wait on Bonnie at the bank, and she would always rush to get in line at my window. You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers

    Bonnie always had a smile when we saw her. She will be missed by so many friends. Words cannot express our sincere expression of deepest sympathy in the loss of such a dear friend. I know that Hodgie will be lost without her. They were the perfect couple, always together, always having fun. That empty seat on the moped will be a constant reminder to all her friends of her love and dedication to the man she loved.

    Sincerely
    Larry & Carolyn

    Hodgie, We are so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express our sympathy. The love you shared was beautiful. Just like Bonnie. We remember you both coming to listen to our band, stopping by just to visit, always laughing and smiling. We have been good friends for 20 years. We will miss her dearly. But she is now resting in peace. No more sickness and pain. Our love, Dave and Lonette Parker
