This is the eulogy that we (Brian, Dan, Wendy, and me) gave to the minister with the instructions that he could put it into his own words. But this is how we expressed it. :) Thanks to everyone who braved the blustery wind to attend the service this morning. We appreciate your support and presence.
******************************************************************************
June grew up in a large familyone of the youngest of 11 childrenand family is what defined her throughout her life. Over the years, June remained close with her many siblings, their children, and the generations beyond.
June spent her youth on her parents farm in Madrid. Hard work and chores were a substantial part of life, but the family also took time to teach the children about finer pursuits. June learned to play the piano at 12 and later went on to teach several of her nieces the piano, as well. In addition to the piano, June played the accordion and enjoyed all types of music. Her niece, Carol, in a letter to her said:
I remember you starting to teach me about the piano and music in general. The great times around the old piano at the farm and that old Victrolaall the songs from the 40s that I really enjoyed! You sure helped develop my love of all types of music.
As a young adult, June moved to Des Moines where she shared an apartment with another young woman. During this time, June worked for for an insurance company. But her hometown beckoned her and June ultimately moved back to Madrid. It is during this time that she met her husband, Ray Noring, a coworker.
June and Ray married in 1966a union that would last until Ray passed away in 2009 and which produced their two sons, Dan and Brian. June was a loving mother who raised not only her own children, but several generations of children in her family. Her kind, gentle nature made her a favorite among the large familys many children.
June had a green thumb and, when she was younger, she was an avid gardenergardening both vegetables and flowers. Later in life she grew plantsespecially beautiful African violetsin her home. June was an excellent cook. At every family holiday or gathering, she was flooded with requests for some family members favorite dish and she was always happy to oblige them. She also enjoyed puzzles and playing cards and doting on her grandchildren.
More than anything, though, June was devoted to family. She remained close to the many members of her family throughout her life. She was a loving and dedicated daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. The many loving letters, cards, messages, and calls she received during the last days of her life had a common theme: Thank you so much for always being there for me.

Aunt June; Although I only got to know you recently, I enjoyed our talk on the phone and the information you gave me about the family's early days. I pray that your earthly pain is now gone and that you are rejoicing with our Lord in Heaven. FROM Your "NEW" Oldest Nephew James Richard Frey AKA Lon James & Judy Ann Bruinsma

Your family is in my prayers.
The following are song lyrics June and I sang when your Uncle Herman passed away. We would replace the word Sister with Brother as we sang. The song and memories are with me today.
Peace be with you.
Love,
Aunt Mildred

They Needed a new Star up Yonder
And They couldn't find
A Brighter Light to Shine
God decided She was meant For
A Star and so He sent For

Brian and Dan, Kathy and Wendy, and Jordan, Evan, Gilly, and Bailey.
You are being cared for in our hearts and in our prayers during this time of
Aunt June's passing from this earth to her home in Heaven. She was a dear Aunt to me...almost like a big sister as she was 13 when I was born. We would often walk around her home place at the Frey farm, talking about birds, seeking wild flowers, listening to the water flowing in the creek down below one of the pastures. We were bonded. The summer visits with her were always special, we would eat a meal out or have some of the special muffins at the restuarant next to her home. We would laugh, share difficulties and joys, and sometimes there would be tears. I always felt a lift and peace after our visits. Many of our sons (adopted and foster sons) knew her from visiting her and Ray with us. They send their condolences as well.
Her faith was very strong and she always prayed for each of you. Her Heavenly Father holds her close now and watches over all of us with His love.
May blessings and peace be yours during this time, may your breaking hearts be consoled and may healing come by God's Spirit.
We all send our love to each of you.
Lois, Steven and Family
