I was fortunate to be Bonni's neighbor in Fremont.  Always admired her friendliness and impeccible appearance, her willingness to help out whether at school or in the neighborhood.  Watched her children grow up alongside mine.  Only recently re-connected with Mia and am blessed to have learned more about the Pando family.  My heart hurts for them at this time of loss.  Praying for them.

I met Bonni through St. John the Baptist church. My mom Kelley introduced us. She also helped teach in RCIA, at which time I was going through it. She was always smiling and loving. Everytime I saw her at church she gave me a big hug. Bonni always encouraged me that I had what it took to be a nurse. I am now at the end of my third year. I love you Bonni you are a blessing to me. <3
