Eric:
It is difficult to find the words to express my condolences to you and your entire family for the loss of your wife. You and Betty showed me great support and compassion during my college days and I will always remember that. I am sure I am one of enumerable lives that Betty touched and we are all better for that. Once again, my condolences, and I am sure you are surrounded by and encouraged in every way possible by your loving family and friends at this time..

Betty and Eric were such good friends to my parents, Hugh and Madi Pawson.
So often I would visit them to hear, "We got together with the Bonnymans last night!" or "Betty and Eric had us over for dinner, and Betty made us one of those wonderful dinners of hers which we enjoyed over great conversation!"
Our family even has a photo of Betty and Eric attending my parents' 25th wedding anniversary back in our Brampton days in the 70's. You four go/went a long way back. We're so grateful for the friendship you showed our parents through the years, particularly to Hugh, in his years after Madi's death.
We remember how Eric and Betty drove up to Ottawa in May 2013 to commemorate Hugh at Vintage Wings. It was, no doubt, a huge undertaking for both of you, yet you still took the time and effort to share with us that unforgettable afternoon when we celebrated our father's contribution to the war.
Please know that Clarence and I are very sorry to learn that Betty has left us. We fondly remember her as a vibrant and sharp woman.
May God bless her.
With deepest sympathies to the Bonnyman family - Eric, Doug, Steve and Kay. Betty was warm and welcoming to visitors, a generous host and always had a great story to share. I will forever have fond memories of extended family gatherings at Betty and Eric's...... I am very sorry for your loss.
