I grew up with the Murray girls for the most part. My mom and Bunnie were high school friends and I believe we even lived with Bunnie and Dale at one point or another. I remember always wanting to stay over because Bunnie cooked and everyone sat at table together like a family and I loved that about her and wanted my mom to be more like her. She had an infectious laugh and she was very kind but also matter fact when she told you something she believed in strongly. She was an all around cool lady and a pretty red head to boot. I regret not spending more time with her and her family which I love but this has made me realize just how fast this life goes by and if we don’t fill it with love and God we got nothing. Bunnie was filled with both and she will be missed by so many. Bunnie and my mom Renee both passed on Jan 29th so Bunnie say hi to my mom for me and you two ladies take it easy on the rest of heaven save some for me and those Murray girls.lol..I LOVE YOU BUNNIE, DALE, MICHELLE, SANDY AND CANDY!!! TO THE MOON AND BACK!!
Fly high mama, we love you so so much, I hope you come see me! I miss you, save me a spot up there!
My mother Bernadette venhaus Murray was a beautiful person. She was the heart and soul of so many lives she touched. She will be missed immensely.
Ken and I lived by Dale , Bunnie and the girls in the 1980’s. They were very nice neighbors and we enjoyed visits with them. Our boys were about the ages of their girls and went to school together.
We’re truly sorry and our thoughts and prayers are with the family!
Thank you so much @
