Bobby, so sorry to hear about your mom. She was known to many of us as "Bunny". So many memories of her, your dad, Sis B and Braddy. Every time she would sing I would always say to myself "if I could only sing like her"....She and your dad would always welcome John stopping by when he was on duty; and that meant so much to him. What a home coming there is in heaven! All the Bethelites are welcoming her and most of all our sweet Jesus! Her life on this earth has ended, but oh what a wonderful one she is having now! No more disease or sorrow, and we will be able to see her and all our loved ones again! She and your entire family have always been very special to us! Hold on to the precious memories that you have. Love to all of the family, John and Di

Sorry, such a non-descript word for a time like this when it can't begin to describe how badly we feel. Bunny was one of a kind, such a neat, classy lady who could always make you feel 10 feet tall. From her home on E Capital St to her home on Boyd she always welcomed us with that beautiful smile and open arms. Her beautiful voice will be singing in Heaven now with Braddy, while Sis B, your dad and all the other Bethelites are following along. Remember the past and cherish your memories, we will of Bunny!! Love you guys
