LAKE, BONNIE M., March 4, 1942 - November 25, 2004 My name is Samantha
and I would like to tell you a life story about Bonnie M. Lake. She
was a mother of four wonderful children: Priscilla, Jimmy, Albert and
myself. For anyone who knew our mom, she would always leave a lasting
impression. She had a great sense of humor that we will all carry on
in her legacy. She was born in Queens, NY. She was the person to run
to in time of need, always there for you no matter what. She lived life
with MS but defeated it every day for the love of never letting her kids
down. She taught us all that God would never give us something that we
couldn't handle. She exercised that belief every day. The saddest word
to say was goodbye but we all knew it was for the best. She died of
natural causes but true to herself went out with a bang on Thanksgiving
Day. Services will be held Friday, December 3rd beginning at 11AM at
St. James Catholic Cathedral, 215 N. Orange Avenue, Orlando.
