Laura P. "Lala" Bonilla

Lala was only 23 years young when she left this world to be with our Heavenly Father. No words can describe the pain and shock that her family has endured since her passing. She was loved by friends and family near and far. If you knew Lala, you also knew her loud nature and go-getter attitude. She never used the words "no" and "but" in her vocabulary, because she always wanted everything and everyone to be ok. If anyone ever needed anything Lala was there to help, even if it was giving the shirt off her own back. Another thing she will be remembered for is her ability to not let anyone bring her down (in other words, she didn't worry about what others thought about her.) The last and most important thing that everyone will remember Lala for was the way she loved! She loved her husband and four beautiful children tremendously. She loved staying at home to care for them. She loved her mother and family dearly. She loved cooking for her family, dancing, entertaining, listening to music, and she loved to laugh! If there is one thing listed here that we could all learn from Lala's short but beautiful life, we would all be living a better life. Lala chose to love and laugh, what is your choice going to be? Lala is preceded in death by her grandfather, Ruben Perez Ramirez. She is survived by her husband, Fernando Bonilla, Sr.; two sons, Fernando Bonilla, Jr. and Frankie Bonilla; two daughters, Evelyn Bonilla and Kasandra Bonilla; her mother, Elizabeth Garcia Marmolejo; father, Raymundo Perez Garcia; grandparents, Alicia Gonzalez, Antonio Garcia, and Concepcion Trinidad Perez; five brothers, Efrain Marmolejo, David Perez, Jr., Jonas Perez, Issac Perez, and Martin Perez, all of Midland; and six sisters, Angelica Perez, Patricia Perez, Nina Perez, Andrea Perez, Yesina Perez, and Felicia Perez, all of Midland, and by numerous uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, and cousins.
