I have known Bunchy since she was a little girl in Wilkinsburg. She was known as "Daddy's Bunch of Sunshine". Her mom Eleanor was like a second mother to me. We had a lot of laughs over the years and great reunions when I came to town. She always made us laugh and will be missed my many. May God give her family strength to carry on and always remember "Love" never dies.
My thoughts and prayers are with you

I am deeply sorry for your grief and for your loss. To lose a loved one is probably the hardest pain one can feel. I know because I can speak from experience. I have gained comfort by peering into the pages of the Bible. Please investigate it's pages and find the comfort that it truly has brought me.
