Ann, I am so very sorry for your great loss. I am glad I knew Juni, and finally got to meet him at the McD Reunion in April. You have a wonderful family, including at least 2 angels, and they know who they are. You and your family have been and are still in my prayers. Blessings to you and your family.

To the McDonough family, you don't know me, but my grandfather, William McDonough, was Junie's uncle. I am sorry we never got to meet. Please accept my condolences on your loss.
