When someone is taken away from us, what moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Bunny Rabbit, you will be missed dearly. Sadie, Matt, and Wayne, our thoughts and prayers are with you. So sorry we didn’t make it today, but please know you are in our hearts. Love, Mike, Tammy, Seth, Shannan, and Amber

My thoughts and prayers are with bunny's family at this diffcult time. I will always cherish the memories of going to bunnys house and watching wrestling and having a good laugh.

To all of the Jenkins family:
I am so sorry to hear about your Brother passing away.
I really did not know him, but all these years I have heard nothing but good things about him.
I talked to him several times and he was so kind and gentle.
May God give you the comfort and strength you need.
Your family has always been special to me.
We are really distant cousins.
God Bless!

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
