Somehow I know Bunny will hear my words, so here goes. From my earliest recollections Bunny and Leon (I know he had a nickname and can't remember it) were palling around with my folks. We were so lucky to share family fun times at Bow Lake, a major treat for the Corey kids. First we lost Leon and then my mother. Bunny moved to Del Ray Beach, where she was close to another wonderful friend Ruthie Hewitt. I was fortune enough to be able to continue my friendship with Bunny as an adult and visited her in Florida. When she returned to Massachusetts she chose a special "retirement" spot, where my Dad and step mother lived. I was able to talk with Bunny frequently on the telephone and visited with her when in Massachusetts. She was a brave lady when it came to be challenged by the loss of her eyesight. Always ready with a kind word and a smile, even though on the telephone I could not see her. Christmas cards were exchanged for a mere thirty plus years. I will forever treasure our times together and I miss her now.

"Aunt" Bunny taught me to "tap dance" when I was about 5 years old. She was a special lady and a very good friend of my late mother, Helen Meader Corey. Love and prayers to her family. Nancy Corey Kirkendall
