In memory of IBK~

[dominosarah]

This is one of the hardest things i have ever had to do.  We found out this morning that IBK  passed away of a massive heart attack on Sunday Aug.2nd.  We dont know anymore details at this point.  I loved this woman with all my heart as did many others.  We will all feel her absence on this forum but she will be with everyone of us in spirit.  She lived hard and worked her recovery even harder.  Each and everyone of us was important to her and she wanted  all of us to experience sobriety.  I really am at a loss here so will close for now.

RIP my beautiful friend~

I am so sorry to hear of your dad passing.  Was he sick?  Please talk if you need to as we are here for you too~

I am saddened greatly to hear this.  It comes on the heals of my father passing away on the 6th.  I am not trying to pull attention away from Bonnie so I will say...
She helped me tremendously and will forever have a place in my heart.  I love that she was a part of Medhelp and that this thread is so long.  It is a tribute to the love she put into this site.  For this and many other reasons she is going to live on through the energy she gave.

Update......There will be no funeral as she was cremated.  These were her wishes~

Bonnie Anne Hayzer was a very special person to me and, my wife also. we have just returned from a few days in the mountians and are just getting home.
We both feel devastated and at a loss for words. She helped so many here and has helped me personally on more than one occasion.

She thoroughly enjoyed football and made it possible for a lot of us to play our picks in a competitive way while in a clean environment. She really razed me about my inability to pick more winners than I did throughout the season but at the same time I think she kinda felt sorry for me also.
She will be missed very much.

The very first time she set me straight I was so offended that I beleive I sent Sarah a message crying about it! Ha.... I was clean for over a year until I reinsured my back and had surgery! She set me straight again when I came back here yet this time... I followed through with what she said. She told me just a few weeks ago EXACTLY how it was and my comment back was " it stung, but she was right "..... SHE is the reason I am where I am today! De pushed me to a whole other level and there was just something about her where I wanted to make IBK proud of me. She told me she was! I know that when I have tough days that her spirit will be right here with me, still pushing me forward!...... And what I Beautiful thought of the Flower Child she is!

In my minds eye I see Bonnie as the ole Hippie she was Free flowing skirts with flowers in her hair She was one of the girls bathing in a famous photo at Woodstock although she was clothed :) IBK had a lot of experience behind her and knew how to put it into words I will always respect and love her for all she has done for everyone she ran across, myself included..
