Parrish Testimonial
Her demeanor was cheerful and funny; She came into my life when it was full of great strife; and made all of the gray skies turn sunny!
Seriously now, I have been thinking very hard about how I could put into words the way my husband and I feel about Bonnie Sawusch. It is almost the seventh anniversary of my husband’s auto accident. After being airlifted to U of M in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was given a brochure on the rights and benefits entitled to me by an auto insurance company. It was a few days before I called the number on the pamphlet. I was then put in touch with Bonnie.
My days at this time were a blur as my husband was in a coma and not expected to make it. Over the next few long weeks angels seemed to just come out of the woodwork. There were people to hold me, listen to me, help me walk and sometimes let me rest on their shoulder and get a few minutes of much needed sleep. I didn’t know that my angel Bonnie was already hard at work to help me through, not just days or weeks or months, but years of very trying and happy days.
Bonnie and her assistant, Suzanne, were voices that I looked forward to hearing. They told me that I could call them anytime whether it was for legal help or just to talk and boy did I! I was facing battles that I had no idea how to prepare for or how to fight but they stood by me and helped me win not only the legal battle but more importantly the life changing battles that I faced then and now on a daily basis.
Bonnie took what I thought at the time a very special interest in my case but as I have come to know her in the past years, it is just the person that she is. She handled our case with legal knowledge that she was trained and educated for, but also with care and compassion for a person who was in emotional turmoil and knew nothing of what to do other than putting one foot in front of the other.
As I sit and write this, there are tears rolling down my cheeks There is so much that I have to be thankful for and I count my blessings every day. We all will face sadness in our lives but ours was catastrophic and I am so very thankful for the aide and help and of course the love that I was and am still being shown by Bonnie.
My husband made a miraculous recovery and he enjoys calling and talking to Bonnie about almost anything and she takes time out of her busy day to listen.
I find new angels in my path each day and in one way, shape or form they help me through. Sometimes I just don’t know what I ever did to deserve them but I sure am glad they are here and helping me to be strong. On the days that my life gets overwhelming I know that if I needed to call on Bonnie she would be right there for me only if it was just to hear her voice and know that she was smiling and concerned for me. I am proud to tell people about my lawyer Bonnie and how blessed I am to be able to call her my friend.
