Leo and Brendan’s Bears
Hello Bonnie,
Thank you so much for making Brendan’s and Leo’s beautiful memory bears. Assoon as I saw them I knew which one my daughter would choose (the one with
the star on front) and she did. I still can’t make up my mind, I love them all.
Thanks again and God bless you,

Hi Bonnie:I’ve been meaning to contact you. When I received the bear, I just got so emotional, it’s beautiful! I can’t wait to give it to my mom. I’m going to give it to her tomorrow, because my sister is coming to take her out to lunch for her birthday, and since it’s so close to Mother’s Day, I’m going to have her open it tomorrow so my sister can see it as well. My sister lives over 60 miles away, and she won’t be able to see the bear up close. I’ll take some pictures and send them to you so you can see her reaction! (and of course post them)The bracelets will be going to 2 people I know who have battled breast cancer (still trying to recover from surgery) and I know they will pass the word on.Thank you so much for what you do! You have touched so many lives in such a profound way. It’s such a blessing what you are doing.

Sweet bears.. so rewarding for you I’m sure.. Happy Valentines day! Thanks for liking my Lessons from Ann’s story.. blessings
Bonnie,
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to create My Nanna’s memory bears. Losing my Grandmother to cancer was one of the hardest things I have had to go through. There isn’t a day that goes by that I do not think of her and miss her. Having these wonderful bears made of her clothing is something me and my family will cherish for years to come. Though we have our memories in our hearts, having one to hold is even better. Your creations allow us to hold our Nanna in our arms and for me that is a gift that is priceless. Thank you for creating our bears and for being a wonderful person. Speaking with you brightened my day. May God bless you and your family.
Forever grateful,
Kimberly Cardone-Zumpano

Hi Bonnie,
I noticed you after you liked a post of mine and after devouring your blog I feel honoured! It hit harder when I noticed that you committed your son to the sea the day after my 20th birthday – what you must have been going through whilst I was no doubt being frivolous! These bears are such a blessing to the lives of so many and I can only hope that if (god forbid) I lose a loved one you will post to the UK! You are a wonderful, wonderful lady ♥
I’m Going to have to show these bears to my grandchildren…. God Bless… Bro Pat.
What a wonderful gift you share with others. I can imagine lots of Bonnie’s Bears spreading comfort and joy everywhere. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Just love the array of colors of your adorable bears.
OK–This is crazy but I’m pretty sure I have one of your bears! My friend Katie had them made for Christmas one year! Thanks for stopping by my blog! 🙂
This is a lovely idea Bonnie and I pray that as it blesses you financially that others will be blessed by the love and care you put into making these bears and by the memories of their loved one. Bless you.
Nice gallery of memory bears
The bears are absolutely adorable.
