You were my best friend
I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember Mr. Bunce as he was our mail carrier for many years on Route 408 and he was always such a nice man.
I’ve fond memories of him and I pray that you’ll be able to take comfort in your many treasured memories of him.
God Bless You.
Your dad/grandpa was truly a wonderful person. His list of virtues was a mile long, and he left you a wonderful legacy to emulate. Also, he felt and deeply appreciated all the love and devotion you gave him, each in your own special way! He realized the effort you made to make him as comfortable and happy as possible, and this really did give him joy. I am honored to have shared so much with him and your family. May God, who loves him and you so very much, continue to bless you and comfort you through this difficult time!
To the family of Mr. Bunce from all of us at Interim Healthcare. Your father/grandfather was a wonderful man whom we had the honor and privilege to know and care for. He was full of stories, always had a smile on his face and was like a “grandpa” to those of us who got to know him. We are so grateful and fortunate for the time we had with him and send our thoughts and our prayers to each of you during this difficult time. May God bless each of you and comfort you.
