So sorry about your loss of Bambi all of you are in my thoughts and prayers
Bambi has been my neighbor for over 24 years. Even with all the sad changes in her life this past year, she never complained. Bambi held her head up high through it all. I am so glad she was able to visit her sister in Arizona and was able to celebrate her last holidays with her family and friends. She will be missed.

So sorry to hear about this loss I’ll never forget the days when my aunt Bambi taught me how to play cribbage. Even though it’s been a lot of years I feel a huge voice in my heart
