The Difference Between Nigel Bonny, His Brother, Mother and Nigel’s Widow, Bonny: True Class

Nigel-Bonny-best-man-500

I got a morning email that just made my day. It was from the brother of the late Nigel Bonny. It included a photo of him and his brother and best man, Nigel, at his wedding. And there’s Nigel, posing for a photo with his brother, doing what a best man does — holding onto the wedding ring.

As you can tell from the accompanying photo, it was a very happy time, and the brothers obviously were close. Their smiles speak volumes.

I won’t go into the full text of what he wrote, but I will pull out a couple defining quotes:

“Today is Nigel’s 5th anniversary of passing and I could not let it pass without saying thanks to you for helping us along the way.”

And …

“He was my Best Man and you have helped us retain the respect he deserved in life and in death. All the best to you…”

Thank you, sir, very much. I’m glad I was able to help in some small way. You and your mother have presented nothing but class in your relationship with me. It has been my pleasure to do what I can. And I will continue to do so as long as necessary.

Your class is in true contrast to Dianna Bonny’s crassness, in my opinion. And I wish you and your mother all the best. And I’m happy to see that even on the anniversary of his death, you are remembering the good times in life you had with him while he was here. That’s the best way to honor his memory.
