We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Aunt June and I have written some to each other thru the years. My mother was Shirley Sipe Wells. May you find comfort in your memories that you have shared with this beautiful woman. I do have a few memories when we visited Virginia and the family reunion in Denver. Our prayers are with you all. Love Debbie Wells-Patton and family

I remember when Aunt June & Uncle Rudy lived in McGaheysville just below Grandma; seems like she always had a fly swatter in her hand & enjoyed working in the yard; I always wondered how she could tell the difference between Dad & Uncle Rudy when they were younger. Take comfort in the happy & loving memories that you shared in your time together.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. I smile when I think about going over to see Aunt June and Uncle Rudy with my Dad. I was always fascinated to see the twins together. Aunt June would always tell me not to touch anything, but then she would always smile that wry little smile and I knew she was really a big softie inside. I hope that good memories of Aunt June can help bring you comfort in this difficult time.

Mike,
I enjoyed knowing your grandmother although it was a short time. She seemed to be a very independent, self reliant, caring woman. I know you and your family will miss her greatly. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Diane-
Our sincere condolences. We all know that under that rough exterior that was a warm gentle soul. Just remember how good mom was with that fly swatter behind the counter at L & S. Those flies never had a chance :)

To the Family of June Peale. I am so sorry for your loss. June was a sweet, hardworking woman who enjoyed life and was considerate of others. I appreciate her kindness to me and my family. My mother always spoke with such fondness and high regard for June. My dad, Walter Peale, loved June and they enjoyed each others company.
I know you miss her but let your faith in Christ guide you through this difficult time.
