Heaven has just received one of the classiest ladies I’ve met. She will be missed tremendously here on Earth 🌎🫶🙏
I can remember Bunny cutting my hair, before I think she ever thought about being a beautician and she did a good job, too. We had some good times, way back when!
RIP! No more suffering🥲🙏🙏🙏
Went to high school with Lynette who always had a smile and seemed happy to see you then and years after and someone you will always be glad to have known. My heartfelt condolences to Larry whom I have known almost my entire life and his family.
My grandmother, Martha, Andrick, loved Bunny and loved having Bunny , do her hair frequently. As such, I’m sure grandma was at heaven’s gate, waiting for Bunny to come so she could have Bunny do her hair in Heaven. 😁😁
My prayers and sympathy go out to the family! So sorry for your loss!
Bunny was like a second mom to me growing up. Everytime she saw me she would yell out in her mom voice “Jimmy True” like she was either happy to see me or going to give me a butt chewing for something Bruce and I screwed up. Many times it was both. Bunny will be missed by many,. Thoughts and prayers to her family.
Sending LOVE & PRAYERS
Sorry to hear that Ellen ” Bunny” Lynette Jones passed away. Rest In Heavenly Peace Bunny
