Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Jimmy, William, Michael and Steve I am sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. I can remember when you all lived in the big house off Cooley Road. She always wore lipstick and dressed classy. She was so kind And loved all of you very much. I pray you find comfort in the Lord during this time of loss. Dale Allen Joyner
Thinking back to when I was a little girl, I always loved being at Aunt Bunny’s house and just being hugged by her! She loved my husband from the moment she met him (40 years ago), and loved my kids like they were her grandchildren. We will miss you Aunt Bunny but know that it wasn’t goodbye but see you later! My prayers are for your kids and their families as they walk through this season of life.
