Aunt Bunny with out a doubt was my very best Aunt of all times. A dear wife,mother,sister,sister-in-law,gr andmother,aunt, great-aunt, best-friend, neighbor - she always had time for us all.

Aunt Bunny was there to give me my strength, comfort in her words, smile in her voice - when the times got hard. She was a Aunt I knew was always there when I needed. Her spirit will always be with me. May she rest in peace -
