I am so sad to see this obituary! I had no idea that June had passed. I am the mother of an 8 year old girl with multiple disabilities. I first found June's books and articles about four years ago. Her work changed our lives. For the first time, we began dreaming about literacy and real school work rather than bleak life skills. My daughter's life is rich and full. She is learning academics at school, participating in many extracurricular activities and loves learning. This is in huge tribute to June, whose work gave us a vision and a how-to manual. Her work reinforced that the most important thing we could do to help our daughter was ensure she has a life rich with experiences to share, because that is the building block of literacy. Thank you, June.

A great teacher and a total human being. Her essay tests at the U of A were some of the most challenging I ever encountered. And she didn't just let you get a "grade" she made you revise the essay until you understood. A teacher par excellence.

I will always hold warm memories of the times I shared with June in Tucson many years ago. I am so very sorry that the Ernst family has lost one of their own. My heart goes out to them and to all who were touched by June's light.

June touched so many people and lived her life in service to others. I'll always treasure her lovely gift of singing and our life together in the 70s.

June was a little spark of light among the other little bits of light that make up the volunteers of Hope. Her physical presence has been missed, but her spirit is in all of our hearts.
