In Memoriam: Gerald Bonner, 18 June 1926-22 May 2013
Thou Hast Made Us For Thyself And Our Heart Is Restless Until We Rest In Thee
(St. Augustine of Hippo, The Confessions, Book 1)
Yesterday, in his eighty-seventh year, my father Gerald Bonner passed to his heavenly reward surrounded by his loving family and in the City of Durham that had been his home for so many years. Funeral arrangements are pending.
Husband, Father, Friend and Scholar, he has touched the lives of many, both in Europe and North America.
His earthly journey has ended but his reception among the Redeemed (while observing all the Anglican proprieties) will be a joyful one.
Requiescat In Pace
I Have Fought The Good Fight, I Have Finished The Race, I Have Kept The Faith
(St. Paul, Second Epistle to Timothy, 4:7)

The trumpets resounded jubilantly when your father crossed the river. I am certain of it. May God bless you and Damaris and your dear mother.
With love, Carole Monica Burnett
