    Ruth, Bonnie Jean and your Mom. I would like to offer my condolences. My Dad used to do some “moonlight” work at IMF from time to time, that was a long time ago. We lived close to there and I went to school with Bonnie Jean. I pray that God eases the pain of your loss and grants you restful nights.
