To the tate it was an joy to take care of your mother, what i am going to miss most is her laugh

November 14, 2010

I had the honor of caring for Bunnie as an RN at the wonderful Milwaukee Catholic Home, where she was greatly loved and admired by staff and residents alike.
Bunnie was an amazing person and inspired me to be a better one with her kindness to all she encountered. She has a devoted family who visited often, many times bringing their cherished family pets, Tucker and Lily.
We shared an extraordinary amount of laughter in the time I cared for her. It was always such a pleasure to enter her residence at the Catholic Home, which was adorned with photos of her spouse and family. We shared a love for "Dancing With the Stars" and she would often recall how she and her spouse loved to go out dancing.
The world was a better place for her presence in it and she will be missed and thought of often.

Dear Joe,Jennifer and Family,

All of our thoughts and prayers are with you. She was a classy lady in the truest sense of the word and I know she'll be missed greatly She never failed to offer good thoughts and good advice and was so nice to me every time I saw her. Heaven became a better place on November 11 when she reunited with Jim. I am so sorry we can't be there to celebrate her life.

Love To All,

Ann & Mickey Quinn
