June was a great friend to my mother and she will be missed. I enjoyed having her over for lunch last year where she and my mom reminisced about sweet adelines and all the years they had been friends. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear about your wife and mother's death. I know you'll miss her.
I had sent her a card and it came back in the mail today, just after I found out she passed away.
May she Rest In Peace.

Uncle Sam, and cousins, Memories of so many good times are going thru my head. Vacation Village, Christmas Eves, Camp Dodge Swimming, Picnics, Graduations, Weddings, New babies..... We have experienced some sad times since December, and our family is stronger than ever. Know that Aunt June is pain free and surrounded by family and friends in the arms of our Lord. May you find the strength and support you will need in all of your family and friends. Love to you all.
