June M. (Crenshaw) Herring, 63, of Charlottesville, Virginia, was called home on Sunday, May 2, 2010, at the Martha Jefferson Hospital.
She was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, on June 28, 1946, to Allen W. and Lois D. Crenshaw. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two sisters-in-law, Joyce Herring and Charlotte Ann Herring, both of Charlottesville; and a special brother-in-law, Donald L. Caldwell Sr. of Lynchburg.
Surviving are her beloved husband of 45 years, Ronnie L. Herring Sr. of Charlottesville; her sons, Ronnie L. Herring Jr. and his wife, Mary, of Barboursville and Charles Dale Herring Sr. of Staunton, Virginia; her daughter, Bonnie J.

Bonnie & Family,
I am sorry about the loss of your mother. As I once heard, death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
She will live in your heart forever.
Condolences,

Dear Bonnie and family,
June was such a sweet person. I just simply loved her smiling face. When you talked to her, her face was radiant, always happy and always making you feel uplifted and glad you stopped to talk. She was a blessing to everyone she came in contact with. Know Bonnie, that she loved you oh so much. Friend, we are here for you, only a phone call away and we love you guys. I found this poem and wanted you and your family to have this.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Bonnie, Carlton and Amanda: As we know, the hardest loss is one of a parent. You had a very special bond and one that will live in your heart and memory forever. By sharing your stories, you will keep her memory alive. You will miss her a great deal, but know that now she is your angel and will be watching over each and every one of you. Thinking of you all at this extremely difficult time. I am as close as the phone.
