Mary “Bunny” was a woman of charm, elegance, grace, class. She had a love of life. She was a friend to everyone. Never said an unkind word about anyone. I’m blessed that I found her, put her head in my lap, kissed her forehead, brushed the debris from her face, and I told her that I loved her. I told her that I was sorry that I wasn’t there for her. No one knows when our time will come. We must seize the day, make the very best of it, smile, and think good thoughts, like Mary did, and live life well with kindness. Forever Mary will stay in my heart. She was more than just a best friend…she was like family. God bless you and take care of you now. Be with your first true love, Bob, and live happily ever after. I will miss your smile, your energy, and your sincerity, your honesty. Thank you for being you. XO God bless you and keep you until we meet again.
