Bunny you will be sadly missed. We vacationed with our girls on your shores. We had many 4th of July parades around your circle drive, watched the deer feed in your feeder, went swimming on your beach, fishing on your pier, but most of all we made life long friends with you and many of your guests. We stopped by to see you this past summer but you were not there. Now we know you are with your Mom and Dad, we know how much you missed them. Catch a couple of Walleyes for us and maybe a Musky too. We will always remember you, Love Gary & Linda

You will always be in my heart and I miss our chats...but I know that you are at peace sending out your mini miracles.

We were very saddened to hear about the recent loss of Bunny. Both Bunny & her mother - Irene always made swimming, fishing & boating at Venn's Resort on Eagle Lake a very special vacation week for the Semrad Family. Pink jigs, Lucie the Bass, mud puppies, family picnic dinners, fish fries and garbage rides forever. Bunny will be missed by all.
