RIP Bunny
Michelle Callanan (Bunton)
14/6/1974 - 26/12/2008

I have built this site to help communicate the most often question I am asked, "How is Bunny?"

I can't help the doctors but I can build websites.  Hopefully this site won't be just one way traffic as I will setup the site to allow you to post messages and respond.

The bad news is that Bunny's breast cancer returned in an agressive manner.  She started chemo but she passed away peacefully on the 26th December 2008 after a brave fight.

If you don't already know I am sorry you are finding out via a webpage.

Post a message to Bunny and register with the site I will add more stuff as I can.

Email any queries to tellme@howisbunny.com or contact me.

Thanks to all those who have offered themselves and prayers they are very much appreciated.

Goodbye my lover

Sean

Bunny thanks you for the support.

It's been a while since I blogged here, I know this may not be read but it needs to be written.

3 years ago I had one of the best days of my life when I married Bunny. I don't remember nerves because I remember the peace, the laughter and yes the waiting... thanks U2. Parts of this year have been tough & challenging but I'm also lucky & grateful for the year I've had. I still think of Bun often, I miss her but I know she's happy.

I know the next month will be filled with memories of late last year, I won't avoid it, I can't. Remember this is still HowIsBunny not HowIsSean... I'm doing OK, sure it's not all great all the time but the "smiler" is in front of the "frowner" as a good friend of mine would say.

To the people who are keeping me smiling, thanks, especially you sweetness.

As Bun would say to all of you, "Bless ya"

Happy Birthday Bun, you'd be happy to know that we having a party for Beau's 1st today. He was jumping for joy last time he saw you now you can't stop him, I'll give him a big kiss from you. Everyone will be thinking of you too. Gotta go and get some Krispy Kremes. Bless ya

Reflecting on things especially at this time of year makes me remember the effort Bun went to for others.  Especially at birthdays, she loved everything about them.  Bun would never describe herself as a thinker but rest assured for the 11 months preceding anyone's birthday she was always thinking about it.  Our "magic" wardrobe was always full of presents with mental notes on all of them.  We all know how hard she was to buy for which she did finally admit to me after several years of explaining that her generousity was so much that is was not normal.  Bless her, we wouldn't have her any other way.

So as one of her best mates Lish had her birthday this week and another Melissa waits for the stork to arrive and turn a year older we all know that Bun is still with us ... Read More »

Just got home from Adam Hills show, it was filled with plenty of laughs but the show had a heavy message for me at least. The shows title is Inflatable and is dedicated to some friends Adam Hills recently lost. He described his friends as Inflaters, people who lift people up and we all have the ability to inflate or deflate others. His story about his friend even included them wearing Bunny ears. It doesn't take much but how can you not think of Bunny with a story like that...

She was definitely an Inflater and continues to inflate those who knew her.

You don't often leave a comedy show and cry on the drive home, I miss you Babe, but I am so happy you inflated my life.

 Bless Ya Bunny

Thanks to our creative team of Larry, Laz & Hilario for terrific work on the booklet for the service.  I'm glad we went with an 8 page booklet as anything less would have been useless as a fan.

Bunny funeral booklet - special thanks to the artists - Rhys, Eden, Archer & Julia

Also Larry also produced an extended mix booklet which included everything this website has.

So very sorry to hear about Bunny's passing. It is a few years now since I've seen her but haven't forgotten her special spark and the infectious zest for life that never failed to brighten everyone's day.

Dear Sean, Jade & Rhys, I had the privilege of working alongside Michelle at Medibank in IT a few years ago. As a workmate, she was the best - she made everyday just that little bit more special with her sense of humour and zest for life... and her fabulous trademark red hair I spent my last day at Medibank with her and I'll always remember her joy and positivity. I am so sorry for your loss, Tim. Submitted By: Tim Nightingale

Hi Sean and family. I know Bunny from working in IT at Medibank. I have such fond memories of all the fun and mischief we got up to. Bunny always had a cheeky smile and a funny story to tell - she was a beautiful person who will be greatly missed. My love and thoughts go out to you and your family xo Submitted By: Joanna West

:( I have just found out about Bunny's illness and now her passing away - I have not seen her for a few years but she was one of the "Good One's" at Medibank - I always enjoyed her company, forthrightness and non-conformist approach - a sad loss to the world - my thoughts are with Bunny's family and loved ones ...

I am so sorry. Dear Sean, I remember when you were in first grade at East Side. I was not your teacher but I knew you well because of teaching with your dad. I have such fond memories of John's year at East Side and watching you kids grow up. We have (slightly)kept in touch via Christmas cards. I just received their card today (1/2/09) and read about Bunny's illness. I pulled up the website and realized what had happened. My heart goes out to you and to John and Libby. Love, Jane Montgomery Dunkelberg Submitted By: Jane Montgomery Dunkelberg

for Sean Hi Sean, I am one of Cindy's close friends from her Mother's group, and I had the enjoyment of meeting Michelle on several occassions (as a part of Cindy's 'girl gang'!). Cindy has shared with me, on a few occasions, the special relationship you and Michelle have had with Archer (and no doubt, with Julia too). This relationship (as conveyed to me by Cindy) tells me that both Michelle and yourself possess true quality of character, which doesn't disappear with death, because the imprint of it remains, in hearts and in minds. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you. Simmonne. Submitted By: Simmonne

Sean I actually wanted to send Bunny a message just to let her know I am thinking of her, but unfortunately I was too late. I was fortunate enough to meet bunny a couple of times and she seemed like such a lovely, easy going person, and I remember that huge smile she had on her face showing off her rock after you two got engaged. I truly am thinking of you often and wishing you all the best for the next few days as i can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to say goodbye to the love of you life and best friend, even is she is just in the next room.
