Golf Christmas party at Lisa's in December 2022.

"I love water holes - I just love hitting the golf ball over water," Bunni told me one of the first times I rode with her on a golf course. I thought, "Who likes hitting golf balls over water?", but she explained that she used to be afraid of that shot. She work hard to get a better swing and then she relished the challenge of a difficult golf shot over water.

That attitude summed up Bunni for me. I just got to know her this past year but in that short time I felt blessed and inspired by her positivity, hard work, honesty, not to mention her delightful humor. Sending love to her family and all who knew her.

I always loved being with Bunni and am honored to have been her friend and future work mate buddy. Bunni truly lived “in the moment” and took in and exuded pure joy in whatever and whomever she was with.  The smiles on all our faces were the expressions of that joy --being together doing a sport we loved.  Bunni was so humble…one day while golfing, she shared her excitement about how her game was progressing and that she was proud of herself.  Later she sent a text saying she hoped she wasn’t “bragging” or being boastful.  I responded saying absolutely not –and let her know  that I LOVED hearing about her golf game.  Bunni sent the note because she wanted to make sure I felt comfortable…and that was Bunni – a woman who looked after others and wanted them to be comfortable.   I’m sending the warmest of thoughts of comfort to her family, friends, and all of us who will miss her.  I know we’ll see Bunni showing up on the course to say hello…we’ll see her in the lady bugs and butterflies and how the sun beams touch our faces.   Love you Bunni

One of my fondest memories is when Bunni convinced me to do a mud run! I was hesitant at first, but she kept saying “it’s going to be fun!” I had the best time and we laughed and laughed the whole time. Bunni was a sweet soul. Caring, funny and sweet. I will remember her fondly. Love and prayers to the family. 

Sam Overman and Terry Derr, make room for Bunni, she is bringing her clubs and is ready to play her best round ever.  Were going to miss you here on earth.

Terry and family,
     My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how very close you and Bunni were. Love to you all!

It was a true joy to meet Bunni and have a fun day with her of laughter. She was a true joy and it’s a day I will never forget. 

A wonderful memory of playing golf with Bunni and she was a great golfer.
I will cherish the moment forever.
Will miss you.

Pink Ribbon Classic. Missing you already. 

I’ll always cherish the times we played golf together.  RIP sweet Bunni. Condolences to your family. 

I have so many wonderful memories of Bunni. She worked as my bookkeeper for sixteen years. Such a wonderful person with great sense of humor and smile. Always frank and willing to share her opinion when asked. She often called herself my work wife and I so appreciated her great work efforts through thick and thin in my business. I often think about her and can not even imagine her family’s sadness and grief with her passing. I do well imagine she will get another golfing hole in one in heaven. Take care Bun!

For 30 years Bunni has been my Mama Cleaver. She has always been a supporter of anything that was going on with me. I will cherish all of the fun times we had over the years. My heart goes out to the family. She will truly be missed. 

Bunni was one of the first friends Peter and I met when we moved to the US! She and Buddy played tournaments with us although they had to give up the dream of winning while doing that, because we don’t play as good as they did.
I’ll always remember her kindness and laughter! It was an honor to get to know her.

Bunnie was a joy to play golf with. She brightened a room when she walked in.  Her beautiful smile will be missed.

The most kind & gentle person I have had the privilege to know. Her, I & April we’re the golf “trio”. We’ve had so much fun. I will truly miss her.
