We lost touch after high school; when I saw your name in the obituary I wanted to send a note of condolence. Bunnie I am so sorry for the loss of your best friend and husband. I didn't know him but I remember you doing amazing gymnastic feats! I always admired your skills. Wishing you peace in the difficult days ahead.

Jerry and Bunnie have been in my life since high school. Jerry even in grade school. Bunnie laughed our way thru many hours of shared experiences. I was a bridesmaid at their wedding. So sorry that Bunnie will be without her life partner. My heart goes out to her and their family.
