To the family of June Wheeler, our sincere sympathy on your loss of wife, mother, grandmother and friend. June faithfully sent on a weekly basis, until his death, a pretty card and note to my elderly dad, John Deming. He loved getting them. She was a compassionate lady through and through.

No words can express the loss of such a wonderful, caring individual. She made a hugh impact on myself and children. Her memories will always be cherished by us. June never had a bad word to say about anyone. She always made herself busy by helping family and friends. I wished I had known she was sick - there are some many things I wish I could have told her. What an empty void she will leave. My heart goes out to the whole family and especially you Daryl. My sympathy's to all.

Pete and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
I have many very fond memories of my times at Pete & June's, hanging out, and "occasionally" misbehaving or thinking of misbehaving. June would give us "The "look" when "The Boys" Usually Harold and Me, did or were about to do something that she didn't approve of. She was a sweet and tolerant Mom to every one of us, I'll miss her.
