Hi all, this is Caleb Knox aka dear son. I wanted to personally thank all of you for your prayers. My mom is free of pain in heaven as of last night. She didn’t suffer, for which I am grateful. I would like to thank you all for providing a place for her to fellowship/cause trouble Shout out to Eddie Robbins: she requested and read your book
Thanks for posting, Caleb. I saw your news earlier & sent Cojak a PM & was waiting to hear from him before posting anything. I think it’s very special that you took the time to let Bonnie’s friends know she has passed. She was so proud of you! She was a very special lady, and she holds a very special place in all our hearts. She will be greatly missed!Know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.And I loved your PS! Bonnie would have, also. ________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
My soul smiled when I saw a post from Bonnie! Thank you Caleb for taking the time to tell us. I had just received this from Bonita:Jack, this is Bonnie’s sister with a final update on Bonnie. Her earthly journey is over (May 27th around 8pm) and she is now in Heaven. One of the last things she said was
Caleb, your mom was a very special part of this forum and a true blessing. I am so sorry for your loss, and very grateful that you came here and shared such a wonderful testimony with us.
thank you all
Caleb,Not too many on this forum can keep NBF under control – but she could do it with a few simple words.She was always one of my favorites.I am very sorry for your loss________________
I am sorry to hear of your mother passing away. She will be missed. I will pray for you and your relatives during this time.Lin________________
I am shocked and saddened by this seemingly sudden departure of Bonnie. Obviously this is an example of someone being ill and not realizing it until the situation becomes very serious. I wish God had chosen to heal her and give her more years with her family. But he knows best. Bonnie lived her life for the Savior. Her existence here brought glory and honor to God. May the Comforter bring divine consolation to her friends and family________________
I found this online. I know the information about the funeral is different, but that was the info Caleb, her son, gave us. I guess maybe there is more than one memorial?I have seen this picture online, so this is the right person. I’ll try to check with Caleb about the different information.secure.funeralwebhosting.com/mbh/notices/Bonnie-KnoxBonnie Goforth Knox of Louisburg, North Carolina went to be with her Lord on Sunday, May 27, 2018 following a brief and intense illness from adrenal cancer.Mrs. Knox was born January 3, 1964 in Montgomery County to Grady Goforth and Alvis Poole Goforth. She graduated from East Montgomery High School and attended North Carolina State University before marrying.

Also left to cherish her memory are her parents, brother David (Rene), sister Bonita (Gray), brother Dale (Renita), sister Belinda (Bill) and many nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.A memorial service will be held by the family at Holly Mount Baptist Church in Mt.

So sorry for you and your family.
I have been out of commission for a couple of days, but I wanted to let you know Caleb messaged me and let me know there is indeed another memorial service for Bonnie on this coming Saturday. I doubt I’ll be able to attend.Please continue to remember the family in prayer________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
Caleb,I just saw this today…OMG!Your mom was/is such an amazing person!I only knew your mom through this forum…and yet…What an absolutely brilliant, spiritual, awesome woman of God!!She challenged hearts and minds.She was a constant threat to any smallness of mind or soul.Her words were always filled with life and justice and mercy.She listened genuinely and heard deeply.There was no elephant in the room that could hide from her scrutiny…nor one left unaddressed!She refused to be mesmerized by any assumption.Her amazing logic and intuitive theological mind would frequently dismantle arrogant dogma with guileless words of grace and truth.It seemed effortless. I would often find myself laughing out loud at her profound moments of mic drop dialog. And in all that, I don’t know that she ever wanted to just win…she wanted truth. That balance only comes from a worshiping heart. I had hoped to meet her someday…I still will – just not here.Praying for you and your family.Sincerely…..
A reminder…that today is the day of Bonnie’s memorial service. Please pray for Caleb (her son) and Roger (her husband) and the rest of her family.A floral arrangement has been purchased for today’s service from the Acts Family, so they will know how much we loved her and appreciated her participation here. Several have also made donations for the family via the church, to help with their expenses. You may do that at nhwcbunn.com/donation/or send a check to the church. (Information on the church is listed in the OP from Caleb.)I’ve run into some different health problems this week and am not going to be able to attend today. I’m not sure if Cojak or anyone else will be able to attend, either, but at least, her family will know she was special to us and loved. Please keep them in prayer at 2pm today as they attend the memorial, and in the days to come________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
