June, I found a piece of paper the other day that I had written your email address on and I just started crying. I miss you so much! And I think of you all the time. Needless to say I kept the piece of paper. You're always on my mind, and forever in my heart...
October 23, 2009
I miss you more and more every day

Dear Keiper Family,
I am so sorry that I did not know of June's passing. In fact I did get to speak with her probably only a few days before she died. I had sent her copies of pictures from my daughter, Adina's engagement party. June took care of my hair probably for the past 18 years. She serviced my daughter Adina from when she was 6 and my twin boys Aron and Jamie from when they were around 4 or 5. We followed her from Lemon Tree to Island Park to Shampoo and to the other places where she had a chair. I saw her last in July before my husband and I went on a vacation. June knew all about my kids' lives, from school to college and their social lives. She was happy for Jamie when he got married in July 2007 and she was excited for Adina who is getting married in December. And I was able to tell her about Aron's special girl friend. They adored her. Please accept our sincerest condolences at this time. She will remain in our hearts forever.

A very good friend

Junebug,
It took me this long to be able to write this without breaking down. You had become like the cooler older sister I never had. I know God had us cross paths for a reason. I believe it was because he wanted me to see how strong you were so that I could be strong too and realize that you need to live life to the fullest, just like you did. You were the strongest, most courageous, positive, good hearted person I have ever known. You fought a hell of a battle and you did it with dignity and a smile at all times. Like I've told you so many times, "Girl you are my Idol". I'm missing you terribly but in my heart I know you are finally at peace. I will cherish every memory, every piece of advice you have given me and every moment we had, and I will never forget you.
Rest peacefully and know that you brought so much to everyone who knew you. Till we meet again.
Your always in my heart...

Dearest Keiper Family:
We extend our deepest sympathy, prayers and regrets to all.
June loved poems, she would share them with me all the time, this poem is for all who had a part in June's life.
"We can't know why the lily has so brief a time to bloom in the warmth of sunlight's kiss upon its face. Before it folds its fragrance in and bids the world good-night to rest its beauty in a gentler place. But we can know that nothing that is loved is ever lost, and no one who has ever touched a heart can really pass away, because some beauty lingers on in each memory of which they've been a part."
May you all be comforted by the many heartfelt thoughts of others.
May you all be strengthened by the many precious memories June left to us all.
June is resting now in God's kingdom and we will one day reunite with her again. Until then Junebug you will always have a special place in our hearts and we will always love you and never ever forget you. Rest in peace.
Love from two people who admired the wonderful, courageous, love for life, young women she was and will always be...

I always looked up to June..from the time I was 3 years old. I remember the MANY games of man hunt, kick the can, spud...face painting at the block parties, playing in my basement..I have so many memories. She was always so much braver than me, in many ways...right till the end, when she was comforting me, telling me everything will be ok. I will NEVER EVER forget June. She will always be in my heart. Southard Ave now has another angel to watch over us.
CANCER SUCKS!! XO JUNE!!

Dear Sue,Roy Marianne & Craig, My most heartfelt sympathies go out to you all. May June Rest in Peace. I haven't seen June in a long time, but always asked Stef & Dee how she was doing. I prayed for her often. I'd like to share a story with you. Over 3 years ago I had to take my sister-in-law to South Nassau Hosp. for treatment (she had cancer too) As I had to do something for her at the info window I left her in an office. When I went back to pick her up for her appointment she told me she met such an amazing young girl, so uplifting and optimistic and so sure she would beat this disease. She told me the girl lived in Oceanside, her age etc. I said Pat, thats sounds like Sue's daughter June. She said Sue who? Ceramics, remember those days, we would be in Sue's basement, lost in our ceramics laughing & joking around like kids ourselves, upstairs you would hear the kids screaming & banging we said Sue go up and see what there doing, she so calmly would say, there fine, there probably tormenting Craig. We would crack up laughing. Those were the days. Well, I lost my best friend almost 3 years ago, I know Pat welcomed June into Heaven and took her hand and said I know you,,Your the amazing girl I met at the hospital, and took her under her wings to guide her and make her feel at home. (maybe even doing ceramics lol) Just remember, June will always live in your heart, she will always be a part of you. May God Bless each and everyone of you and give you strenght to live on as June would want it no other way. Love Cathie Paladino & family

hmm...dont be sad. just remember that now you have a special gaurdian angel, and when the time comes, you will see her once again, and thank god for watching over her. and when my time comes, I myself will do the same. Don't be worried, god has her in as a Special One and she is now and angel, which doesn't make a difference because she always was.

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.

To the Kieper family,I pray you get some comfort in the fact that our June lived life to the fullest.She touched everyone she met with her smile and warmth.She never caved in and felt sorry for herself.She always gave to others.I have known June for 20 plus years and I cannot imagine this world without her.I can't stop crying and do not understand why God would take such a wonderful person so young.She was my true friend and we always had a "therapy" session whenever I sat in her chair.She loved life and her family.She talked about her family constantly.God bless the Kieper family.I don't know what else to say..there really isn't anything more to write...she was our JuneBug!

There are few childhood memories I have that do not include you. Although you were Mairs little sister, you were always right there with us. I remember MANY days/ nights around the kitchen table. And when Mair brought you as her 'date' to our 20th HS reunion, we had so much fun. I had not laughed that hard in a long time. You were a beautiful person. So positive right til the end. You were honest, funny, outspoken. You always could make me laugh. One of the most genuine people I have ever known. It will never make sense to me why this happened to you. I am so honored to have known you and your family for the past 30+ years. I will miss you and never forget you. xoxoxoxoxo

June-
There are no words for the loss of such a beautiful, caring woman. We are all better people to have known you, loved you, been loved by you, and have had you in our lives. You left this earth too soon, but we are greatful for the wonderful times we have shared with you and know that you are shining down on us from above. You will be missed greatly by many but we know that you are at peace now, resting comfortably in heaven. God bless you and keep you always! We will never forget you!

It will be the little things
that we will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.
With Loving Thoughts
And Memories

My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose
I find myself wishing that it wasn't real
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see
But my heart tells me that she'll always be with me
I’m glad she feels no pain now-she lives in a perfect land
I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of her loving hand
I lie in bed and cry at night
And I don’t feel any better in the morning light
And I will love and miss her forever
Until the day we are again together.
Together in that perfect place above,
Filled with caring, sharing and love
But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away.
And hopefully see her again someday
I love you June.

June -
You are an amazing woman - your strength and determination in your battle is an inspiration to everyone. I will always remember our conversations about life, your encouragement when I was sick and your ability to see that "everything happens for a reason". What the reason is, I sure don't know but I do know that you are finally at peace, free of pain and suffering and able to enjoy a well deserved rest. I will think of you each and every day and you will be my inspiration to help others get through and cope with this horrible disease. Everyday I will recite the words "CANCER SUCKS" just for you! I love you and will miss you terribly but I know we all have a special angel looking down on us.
To Susie, Roy, Marianne & Craig - I know you are proud of how hard and long June fought and you should be -- you were all so supportive and my thoughts, love and prayers go out to you all. I will never forget her!!!!!

Dear Keiper Family,
Our Deepest Sympathy losing a precious loved one. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.
June was a beautiful person. One of our favorite people. We always looked forward to seeing her. She was a bright light that out shined anyone we knew. Like June, I too battled Ovarian Cancer, so when I first met her thru Mariann, we had an immediate connection. She admired me and I admired her more. June didn't know this, but she taught me strength, courage, faith, hope & love. She will be missed very much. One thing for sure, June-Bug made it to Heaven and is still a Beautiful Angel.
With Deepest Sympathy and Love,
Debbie & Mariann
