    Bunny was much loved and will be much missed. ❤️ Rest in Peace

  2. I grew up as Bunny’s neighbor, Pete and Bunny moved to my neighborhood when I was two. So needless to say Bunny was my extended family and a dear friend of my mom Sally. I have very special memories right up to the note from her after May 1st, when I delivered her the 43rd year of May Day flowers. I love you Bunny, so glad you are with Pete again, your world is complete.
