Bonnie Blankenship

Bonnie Blankenship, Hedingham’s Hi-Milers President, passed away on Saturday, May 10th, 2008 after suffering a stroke Wednesday. She was only 60.

Bonnie was a great friend, always there to lend a kind hand. She was very involved her community, always wanting to do for others. There will be a hole in Hedingham that only she could fill, with her tender & compassionate ways. Someone so special, can never be forgotten. We ask that you keep her & her family in your prayers as they make their way through this difficult time.

No funeral or memorial services will take place. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to:

Humane Society of the United States
Dept GAIT04
2100 L Street N.W.
Washington, DC 20037

The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today’s sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God’s love.

Meeting - May 14th

The Monthy HOA Board Meeting will take place on May 14th at 7 PM in the Hedingham Clubhouse on Willow Oak.

If all goes according to plan, the bus will be in the area from Tuesday, April 22 through Sunday, April 27th. I will be on the bus to meet the residents of your fine community. My hours will vary from approx 8am through 8pm. These plans/hours are subject to change but I will update you if any conflicts arise. I will be in the bus throughout the day but will periodically to handle additional responsibilities assigned to me.
