My sweet dear friend of grade school and high school. I was sad to hear she has passed. Our 50th HS reunion is in September 2015. I went to see the Beatles with her in 1964. She gave me one of her dog's puppies when we were kids. She had a wonderful laugh. If any of her friends from "the lounge" see this, I would love hearing from you.

Dear Bob,
I'm another cyber friend from the "lounge". I think we all looked forward to Junie's posts as her stories were so funny and she just had that perfect way of telling the stories you felt you were right there with her. I so very sorry for your loss and my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Bob,
I am so sorry for your loss of your dear Junie. We were cyber friends but had the opportunity to meet you all in person in Las Vegas twice in the past few years. She had the ability to make anyone laugh out loud. I was looking forward to another trip to meet up with you and your friends Brenda and Alan. She will always be our shinning star above.

I never met Junie in person but 'knew' her on-line and there she was such a wonderful person that I can only imagine she was even better in person. She will be very much missed here on earth but the heavens needed another star, so now we share. Janis and daughter Avery from Chicagoland.

To all of Junies family and friends, I am so sorry for the loss of this most wonderful woman. I hear angels laughing, and it can only be for reason.........Junie is telling them stories! She was such an amazing friend to me, and even though we never met in person and I have only known her for 3 years, it feels like I have known her all my life. She is going to be missed something terrible. Much love, Lori and Darrell.

Please accept my sympathies. I will miss Junie's postings in the "Lounge." She was always such fun to be with and so supportive at the same time. I can only imagine how much loss you, her family, are feeling today. I hope it helps to know that she touched many, many lives, including those of many women you have never actually met.
