For those of you that are new to KT Griff was Bonny's grandson. When Griff was diagnosed with leukemia Bonny was of course devastated. She took care of him while her daughter Petey worked. He was such an important part of her life. He had downs syndrome and I'm sure the reason he did so well was because of the love and care Bonny gave him. When he was diagnosed Bonny prayed to God that she would gladly give her life if Griff could survive. When she found out she had cancer and would not live very long, her words were, 'that's ok, I made a deal with God and I am only holding up my end of the deal' She died as gracefully as she lived....and she is missed so much!

She stopped in once when someone who has her info (I don't remember who told her that we were asking about her). She mentioned that she no longer posts but did not give a reason. At that time, she shared that her daughter was getting married and she needed various outfits for the event. She showed us what she bought, and that was the last that I can remember. Here is my take. Trailrunner shared not only about her travels but her personal life. I think she needed to take a step back from all the personal sharing. I miss her posts. I was fortunate to meet her at a NYC GW gathering arranged by Annie.
