Catharine Burke wrote a sympathy message

“This is Catharine. I graduated from Bonnie's lab, December 1995. I was greatly saddened to learn of Bonnie's passing. She was an amazing scientist and an amazing mentor. I reflect often on my time in her lab with great fondness. None of my words can ease the sadness in your hearts. Know that I hold you all in my thoughts and in my prayers during this time. With my sincerest sympathies, Catharine Calkins Burke”
