Thoughts and prayers for comfort and peace are going out to the Bonk family as they mourn the passing of Peggy Bonk, wife of Norman, brother of Pastor Lorne. Peggy left this earthly world on April 18, 2014 after a brave struggle with cancer, and is now lying in comfort in the arms of Jesus.
A memorial service was held for Peggy in Edmonton, Alberta, on May 3rd. However, as the founders of Circle Square Ranch Wolf Creek, south of Wolseley, Saskatchewan, Peggy will be remembered at a Memorial Service this Saturday at CSR.
