Dear Jack, Shelley, and Barry Bear,

I'm so sorry about Aunt June's passing. Even though we are scattered all over the planet, you are all still in my thoughts regularly. Who would have thought that Aunt June would have wound up in the same nursing home as my Mom and Dad, let alone pass within two days of my mom. I'll always remember the great times at camp, especially the time we sank the snowmobiles in the swamp. Dad, Uncle Lyle, Barry, and I came out of the woods laughing and soaked and were greeted by Mom and June. They were not as enthused :-) And those awesome clambakes with Uncle George's and Aunt Edna's crew!

You are all special people and are loved. You are all in our prayers.

Saying good-bye is not easy. I would like to thank you for sharing your most precious gift of your daughter Shelley. Having known the family for many years going to the land and making of our famous potato salad will be with me forever. Please know that your children will be taken care of and loved. It is my honor to have been allowed to call you Ma, and I will miss you. May God Bless
