Bonnie's Story

Married 41 years! Two children - daughter - lives in San Clemente, CA, one grandson (12 yrs old) and one step-granddaughter (18yrs old). ; Son died in a motorcycle accident in 1993 at the age of 22.

Ray, my husband worked as a machinist while struggling with the effects of Viet Naim. In 1975 I went to work as a bookkeeper for St. Norbert's Catholic Church in Orange.

ty. In 1998, I left St. Norbert Church after 22 years and moved to Big Bear City. I loved living in the Mountains, but after 6 years, it became too much for Ray, so we moved to Riverside where my brother and sister live. I am currently employed as a controller for a Geotechnical Engineer Firm, and looking forward to the day I can retire. Update - Sept. 5, 2013. Semi- retired - work from home or where ever I happen to be. Loving the freedom of not being tied down to an office. Ray and I travel in our Motorhome as often as we can. My grandson is now 16 and driving. Can't believe how fast they grow up! We just celebrated our Wedding Anniversary - 44 years! Ray and I enjoy camping with our Motorhome and traveling the states when time permits. We have two yorkie dogs - Micky & Maggie, who are spoiled rotten. I enjoy surfing the internet and playing farmville on Facebook! Update - February 20, 2014. We lost are little Maggie today. She was 15 1/2 years old. We miss her dearly. Micky is lost without her.
