Finally Home

Bonnie Kay Slagenweit arrived safely home this morning. Not to her home on Eighth St Drive, but to her Heavenly home with streets paved of gold.


Mom, thank- you so much for being my "Hero of the Faith" and leaving such a wonderful legacy behind for us to follow. By watching your life, you have inspired me to be a better Wife, Mother, Friend, Christian, and Cook. You loved to fix for your Family! I don't remember a time when we came home and there wasn't a pot of vegetable soup waiting for us on the stove.


I have never met someone who suffered so much, and yet; wouldn't complain. Your faith NEVER wavered during any of your suffering! You definitely have been a Proverbs 31 woman, and your children rise up and call you blessed.



We love you SO much, and oh, how we will miss you! This is not Goodbye though....its just until we meet again.

  2. So beautiful. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Your mother was a beautiful woman inside and out. I'm so glad she was able to come to Romaine's viewing and I was able to talk with her. She was so proud of all her family. May God comfort each of you.

  3. What a beautiful tribute to your Mother-in-law Tonya. I will be praying with you for a safe trip for your family, as well as for Jay, you and the kids and all of his family as they say good-bye to someone they love so dearly.
