In Loving Memory

I am so sad to hear about the passing of Bunny. My name is Kathy Bray and I'm the President & CEO of Volunteers of America, Utah. I have been with VOA for 20 years so I was here when Bunny was a board member of our organization and Jeff St. Romain was our CEO. Bunny was instrumental in bringing homeless youth services in Salt Lake County under the umbrella of VOA. We continue to serve this vulnerable population today. I always found Bunny to be encouraging, fun-loving and seriously committed to quality services that made a difference in people's lives. She was a difference maker. Peace be with you all. - Kathy

Dear Sandi and keith, I am so sorry to hear this news. I’m sending you both a big hug and warm wishes during this sad time. I remember Bunny as being the ‘cool mom’. I’m sure she will be missed. Please take care! Much much from NYC. Peter Yanowitz

Bunny was an amazing friend to my sister, Tika Beard, so she became a friend to me. I felt Bunny was a real part of my life because of the generosity of her spirit and the way she shared. Of course she will be missed..and remembered.

I've picked up the phone so many times to ask about a book, to seek her wise advice, to just catch up. I loved to make her laugh so I could hear that "Bunny" laugh. The world is a sadder place for me without her. All my love to her family.

So sorry to hear of Bunny's passing. She was always kind and generous and smart as hell. A true trailblazer with a sweet disposition. She will be missed. Wishing her family comfort...

Dear Sandi and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I'm so very saddened by this news and the void that is left in this world. Bunny was hands down my favorite boss ever. Thankfully we went to dinner in August, and I thought for sure I'd have many more chances to see her. Bunny was so full of life and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying retirement - keeping busy with friends, art, reading, and doing her best to ignore our current state of affairs. I still can't believe this and am so heartbroken I won't get to see her again.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Bunny. I have such warm and wonderful memories of her, and the whole family, from years growing up in Salt Lake. She left a lasting impression on all who met her and will be missed by so many. Truly, Aileen McGrath
