To Mrs. Bunn, and the entire Bunn and other connectional families, I send my most sincere condolences to each of you. To know Rev. Bunn was to love him. He has left many heart prints in Halifax County Schools, his Church and throughout his community. I was honored to have worked with him in HCS and to encounter that smile each and every time I was in his presence. He has fought a good fight, he indeed kept the faith. May he now rest from his labor. Praying your strength and peace during and after this trying time.
