Three years ago today…. Never forgotten… think of you so often !  Miss you my friend.

I first met Bunnie at a charity social.
She was very outgoing and made me feel welcome.
Over the years I got to know what a sincere lady she was.
Always with a smile and kind words she made me feel welcome to any event that we shared.
Each year I would receive a birthday card from her.  She was very busy everyday of the year sending countless birthday cards to all her friends.  Each year my first birthday card was from her with hand written messages enclosed.
God bless you dear Bunnie and your loved ones.
You are truly missed by your many friends.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your family’s loss. I will cherish reconnecting with Bunnie at a high school reunion and making new memories and remembering old ones!

I am so sad to hear of the passing of my friend Bunnie Willis.....and yet I smile just thinking of her.  She was a great co-worker with me at 2 companies; a great friend who kept me and Lucille connected over the years; and a bright light to the world.    Hard to find people as generally happy as Bunnie, and her memory to me will be the enduring smile on her face.  

Bunnie, I will miss you but know that I will smile at the recalling of your name.  Rest in Peace, and smile down upon us all as you assist us navigate life.  :)

I have known Bunnie for as long as Lucille and I have been a couple …. 28 years. When I first met Bunnie I had an immediate comfort with her. She shined with goodness and kindness. She always offered a helping hand and seemed to have time for anyone who needed a favor or help in any way. 
I loved knowing how close she and Lucille were. And  I especially loved sharing our life with so many of Lucille colleagues from Trammel Crow, Faison and Lehrer. This  was a team of colleagues who loved and cared for each other. 
This group had enormous success in the real estate market. Bunnie was such a large part of that success. She never took credit though. 
I am so sorry for all of the pain her family and friends have to endure. I hope memories of her and that beautiful smile will bring you some comfort. Rest In Peace Bunnie 

Thank you for being in my life my dear friend. You enriched me in so many ways. You always called  me your mentor;  yet the truth is you were the one who taught me so much. During our Lehrer and Trammel Crow days , we formed a deep and beautiful connection. Never to be forgotten.  
Along the way,  we enjoyed many Theatre days with your beautiful mom , my parents and Sharon. So many beautiful memories. 
I loved our lunch and dinner dates. I loved how you trusted me. 
I loved your smile , your joy , your love of life and  your commitment and service to others. 
I will see you again dear friend. I love you still and always will. 

Bunnie came into my family's life about 40 years ago.  She began dating my father,  a divorced man with four kids. She was brave!  We were were all so tickled when we spent our very first Christmas with her.  She filled each of our stockings.  EVERY SINGLE ITEM IN THE STOCKING WAS WRAPPED. This included tiny pieces of candy, small  toys and other items that you typically may not wrap. She did this for all four girls AND my father.  We all giggled as we unwrapped each teenie tiny thing. We ended up loving the tradition that lasted for years.  The photo I included is from 2019.  The sisters decided to get together and fill Bunnie a stocking with a million teenie tiny things, each of them wrapped tightly. 😊  It was so fun to watch her unwrap because she giggled the entire time, just the way we did for all those years. 

We will always remember your smile, laugh and random acts of kindness! Thank you for being my mentor and always believing in my capabilities. Love you and miss you Bun Bun more than words can say.

I met Bunnie in 1986, when I first moved to Florida. We worked together at Rauch, Weaver, Millsaps until 1990. Bunnie was my first employee, and it was her first foray into property management.  She was sharp as a whip and did an amazing job. She will be sorely missed by everyone.  A tragic loss that came way too soon.

Bunnie was my friend from early on, while just babies. We grew up together and stayed friends for 66 years.  We shared our lives, both the celebrations and the heartaches. I am going to miss her so very much. My heart breaks for Bunnie's family, friends and for me.

I met Bunnie in the late 80's She was assistant at Colliers Lehrer. 

From that day till now. I Loved her energy, her Kindness her thoughtfulness for others the hugs she would give me and sooo much more. I'll miss you.  

Your reach was Far... Everyone Loves you, for your HONESTY & CAIRNESS - that you displayed for so many others....

You'll Never be Forgotten!!!!


I LOVE YOU BUNNIE.... Gil.

Melodi - sending my deepest condolences to you and your entire family.  I am sure Bunny's spirit will always be near and she will be watching over you.  
Hugs and kisses!

My sincerest condolences to your family. I am forever grateful for being one of the many Bunnie genuinely cared for, advised and counseled, supported and loved. 
She was one of my first and favorite cheerleaders. She was also the first to offer assistance when my dog, Marley, was injured. She loved him and was not shy about it. She was never shy about spreading kindness.  We both are so lucky to have had you in our lives and will miss you dearly.

Dearest Miss Bunnie,

I will never forget you, you have been a true inspiration in my path and you will be dearly missed. Prayers and thoughts in abundance for this very special lady. xoxoxo

Bunnie, 

We are so lucky to have spent so much time together.  We laughed, cried, gossiped, played games, vacationed, shopped, cooked and most importantly we got to LIVE together for 3 months.  Those 3 months were the best time ever for us.  

We love you to no end...
Mirna, Theresa, Lena and Miresa


Mel,

May looking back in memory of Bunnie help comfort you and your family in the days and weeks to come.
Our hearts truly go out to you and your family
