Bunnie Edwards

Bunnie was the admin at Houston. I remember when I first transferred to the consumer Notebook team, and had to travel to Houston to meet the extended team there. I had lunch with Bunnie - you'll like her. She's quick to laugh and just has an easy word for everyone. Start to tell a joke and she'll be roaring with laughter before you hit the punchline.

I got into Singapore this week and Monday morning, I had a really bad feeling when I saw an email titled 'Bunnie's update'. Last night, I was trying to call someone in Taiwan to get a conference call going and I saw Bunnie's name on my phone show up.

Sigh...

It was supposed to be removal of a growth on her face, which turned out to be cancer and within 3 weeks of diagnosis, she was gone.

I remember how she was really helpful when I was trying to organize the later canceled marketing summit. We spoke almost every night, working out hotel/food/event arrangements.

I will miss you Bunnie. Play an extra heavenly song on your harp for me as you sit by Jesus.

Ecclesiastes
Chapter 3
There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
