Bunny,
I had the pleasure of working with you for many, many years. First you were my wonderful boss, then you quickly became a dear friend. You were the most loving, caring, loyal person who positively affected everyone's lives that you met. You taught me so many of life's important lessons and opened my eyes to the Theatre. You became my surrogate mom when I lost my mom to cancer. I will miss you on this earth. Your kind grace is the role model each of us should strive for while here on earth. I know that God is caring for you in heaven given your strong spiritual faith. Thank you so much for all you have done for me and my family over the years. I love you and will miss you, but I will always keep you in my heart. Love, Pam

Bunny, I will miss you. You are the most gentle person I ever had the pleasure to work with and call a friend. I will also miss your cards. You always remembered everyone - I will never forget you. Be at peace. God bless to your family.

I will always remeber Bunny as a hard working, kind and giving individual. It
was my pleasure to work with Buny over
many years at NRH/Nascott. Bunny's commitment to excellance enriched the lives of thousands who will have never
actually known her. I mourn her loss
and keep her family in my thoughts for
God's comfort and grace.

There are never the perfect words to express the thoughts and prayers we are all feeling for your recent loss of your mother...the only comfort I have afforded myself in the loss of my parents are the memories they left me on earth and the strong bond I feel of them always looking over me and my family. I pray that this same comfort will be with you now and in the future... Best Regards, Charlie and Sue Crone

To all of the Sheas and Koehlers, I'll remember you in my thoughts and prayers, as well as Bunny. I knew Bunny as a soft-spoken and kind-hearted woman. She raised a great son and daughter who I had the honor and pleasure to work with. May you all find comfort in being together this holiday season.

Bunny's love and thoughtfulness was endless, and knew no limits. From the first day that I met her, she was generous and kind, and welcomed me into her family, which is why she was known as my "East Coast Mom"! My thoughts and prayers are with the family. She will be greatly missed.

When I was in need, Bunny was there to help me, as she did many others. Inspired by her grace and friendship, I have helped others over the years to "pay it forward". Rest in peace, dear friend, until we meet again. I love you. You will be missed.

Bunny's wit, thoughtfulness, and generosity will be missed by us all. As a child, I always looked up to her and continued to do so as we grew older. I will truly miss her.
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies and let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
