I know this is a difficult time for you and I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Remember, a loved one that has finished their life on earth is not dead, there life has just begun. They are still with us in spirit. That you must believe.

To my family,
I know that there are no words that can express the pain that you feel when you have lost a loved one.The only comfort in all that we have experienced this year is knowing that The Father has it all under control.I will continue to pray and trust that we will all be together again in Heaven.

Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of our Bunnie. Although I will not be able to attend the services, know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you. Bunny was like a second mom to me as we were growing up, and I feel as though a part of me has been taken away. May God continue to keep and bless you.

Daddy Haywood, Lydia, and Ellie,
It's not easy to lose a love one. Aunt Bunny was a sweet, loving and funny lady. She will be missed but her memories will last forever. The Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end. Isaiah 60:20 (NIV)
