To all of you --- our prayers are with you at this difficult time and know that the hands of our loving God will be with you as they have been for her. We had some great times at Colonial Place and remembering what a kind person Miss June was - plus being a great cook. She was always the first to jump in and help with whatever came along, especially my wedding 46 years ago and Mom and Dad's 50th anniversary celebration. Thanks for the memories, Miss June! Rest in peace, our friend.
Hugs, Pat Hickman Smith

I remember Aunt June giving me sticks of gum during church at Colonial Place Church of Christ to quiet me when I was small. Aunt June was always kind to my mother/her sister, Polly. I am grateful for that. I pray for the peace of Christ to rest on your family. Cathy Simmons Miklos

W.D.,Karen, Brenda and Debbie,
Very sad to learn of June's death. I have many fond memories of June Bug and her gentle, quiet ways. I know she has been in poor health for some time but the void created by her death will be felt my everyone who ever knew her and loved her. She was a sweetheart and a dear friend to our family. Sending sympathy and a hug to each of you and your families for your loss.
