PS. My first message concerned only my own feeling of loss. Lee has pointed out that he, too, has enjoyed knowing June. We both will miss her and send our condolences to the Kelly family.

My condolences to the Kelly Family. June was a wonderful person...so full of a zest for life that she was a real pleasure to be around. I will miss her, too. But, perhaps she is in heaven, feeling good, and full of a zest for her life there.

My condolences to the Kelly family for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in knowing that God cares and wants to help you during difficult times as this. 1Pet 5:7

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Kelly family. Mrs. Kelly was like a second mom to me many years ago in Junior high and part of high school.(as she was to many kids from Cross and CDO) I remember her fondly. Her wit, sense of humor and smile will always be remembered. My sister and I used to ride our horses to visit Terri and June would always make sure we ate something when we came to visit and she always had a story to tell. Whether it was a story about Terri or about living in Japan. She was kind and caring. Rest in Peace and thank you for the fond memories.
