Dear Bunnie and Visher Family,
So sorry to hear about the loss of “Mom” and “Grandma”, especially so soon after Dad in January,
What a difficult time this must be for all of you and the entire family. May you find strength in God’s peace as you mourn these losses. The video of your mom is beautiful. She always has a nice smile, much like her daughter, Bunnie.
Our sympathy,
Debbie Sternen and the family
