Mary and I want to extend our deepest condolences to all of you and your families. Your mom was a wonderful and happy person. I cannot recall a time when we were around her that she was not smiling and enjoying herself. She had a wonderful life and leaves a wonderful legacy in her children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren.

To June's Family,

June will go down in my history book as the best boss I could ever have had the pleasure of knowing and working with in my career. June was passionate, compassionate, loyal, inspiring, and had a great sense of humor. As a young woman manager at Xerox that did not know "all the tricks of the trade" when first hired, June was always there giving encouragement, asking you over for dinner at her house, and I knew I was in good hands!

Though the years have passed since I last saw June, I would often think of her and recall the wonderful example she was not just as a business woman but as a human being. There was none finer.

My heartfelt condolences to the entire family. June had an abiding faith in God and so it reminds me of these words written by Robert Browning

All that is, at all,
Lasts ever, past recall;
Earth changes, but thy soul and God
stand sure.

To June's family,
I know June loved her family more than anything in the world. I had the privilege of working and traveling with June for many years and couldn’t have asked for a better person to share time with, both work and personal. I thoroughly regret allowing us to drift apart after retirement. I wish her family, especially Laurie, Christie, Bill, Sam and Dawn, the very best.
In loving memory,
John Wood
