Such sad news.... I got to know Bunny from working with Herby. She was such a sweetheart!! I loved the way her and Herby would tease and joke with each other. They were such a sweet couple. My heart and prayers go out to the family.

He could be so Funny and we had several common Friends. He was such a Great Steel Guitarist and she was his Right Hand Person and Love of his life. She was a Sweetheart! Prayers for their Family and many Friends. RIP Bunny and say Hi to Herby for me! Loved You Two!

Very sorry to hear this news. I did not know Bunny personally but when I visited with Herby at the various shows she was always there and extremely pleasant and friendly, just like Herby . Two fixtures in our small community for certain

RIP Bunny , Peace and prayers to the Wallace family.
