    My dear wonderful friend, always caring and loving. Special long phone conversations and getting together for fun times, A truly special lady I’ve had the pleasure of having in my life for 30 years.
    She will be sorely missed; however, she will live in my heart forever.

    I miss my Aunty Bunny, I remember numerous visits with her and it’s true, she brought the fun and life to the party. Despite the distance between us, she was dearly loved and the earthly world lost a little light when she left us.
