Aunt Bunny, I am with a heavy heart that I will never see you again on this side of life. Thank you for the wonderful memories that will help fill the void in my heart and in my life. Thank you for allowing me to stay with you whenever I would come to Atlanta. The many nights we stayed up talking until the morning or whenever I fell asleep....whichever came first. You would make me lemonade and homemade rolls whenever you knew that I was coming to Atlanta. Coming to Atlanta will never be the same for me without you. I love you and I will always miss you! Marcia

Hey Aunt Bunny, I'm sitting here crying and laughing as I remember the many fond memories that we shared. I will miss your pretty face, our road trips and our conversations ( where you would always start by saying, " Now this stays in this car"). We always looked out for each other, and I will miss that. I will always love you and will cherish the special bond that we shared...Well, any one way ( as you would often say) until we meet again...Love Tasha ( The granddaughter that you never had).

Auntie, my heart is filled with both joy and sorrow. The joy stems from the many beautiful memories you left for me personally that I will always cherish and hold dear to my heart. The sorrow is missing that beautiful smiles and conversations we shared. I really appreciate the level of trust you had in me and the valuation of my opinions when you ask me questions. I will do my best to fulfill your wishes asked of me once you departed this earth. I love and truly miss you. Brenda (The daughter you never had).
