    So sorry to hear about Aunt Bunny's passing. I remember as a kid when she would take us all for a ride and tell us to 'duck' when she saw the police car coming.

    Sorry to hear about Aunt Bunnys passing I can always remember the funny little things that she did whenever we were with her and I remember the time that she was watching us and I got caught with a cigarette in both hands and she sent to the store for cigars and made me smoke one, that cured me of smoking for a few years. She will be missed Love Linda Schwalm

    I'm truely sorry to hear of Aunt Bunny's passing. I remember when I was a kid, Aunt Bunny stopped the traffic in the middle of Boston so all us kids could look at the chickens. It was always an adventure traveling with her.
