My deepest sympathies & condolences to the bone family. Lonnie was truly an angel, words simply cannot simply describe what a good person she was. The bone family are a blessed family. We always enjoyed hosting the family at the plaza restaurant. It was a delight to be a guest at the camp. As well as an amazing surprise to have Lonnie and the bone family visit in Greece. May her memory be eternal. Sending love and hugs on behalf of the Adamopoulos family.
Sincerely,
Dimitri Adamopoulos
