Our deepest condolences to you and the family, Uncle Walt. We are very sorry for your loss. Auntie Bunny was a special aunt and will be very missed.
Much love, Chris & Helen
Though there has been physical distance between our families for several decades now, Auntie Bunny has always been one of the relatives that I felt closest to during our time out west. I loved her wry wit, generosity, and the warm welcome that we always received. We are sorry for her loss to the family and know that her spirit permeates her children and grandchildren so that her great nature will live on.
Dear Uncle Walt, Dennis & family, Brent & family,
We would also like to add our public condolences and deepest sympathies for your loss. We have always been grateful for the birthdays, Christmas’ and other times we were able to spend with you all. As Chris & Helen said, Auntie Bunnie will be greatly missed. Much love to you all.
