"Thank you Bonnie. Your message is honest, powerful and to the point. It takes some of us many tries before we get it.

It took me 35 years! For the past 8 years (especially the Pfiester years) Longevity has provided me with guidance, camaraderie and

a non-threatening place to get healthy. It’s not just a “gym” to me. I’m not always at the weight I want to be, I struggle, but

I sure as heck am not where I was. Thanks again for EVERYTHING you so." - BARBARA

One of Bonnie's other interests was cars. "I knew I was in trouble when I saw her pulling wheelies on the riding lawn mower when she was 10", her father recalled.
