Mrs. Abbott

My condolence to you and the entire Abbott family. I know that a parent always expect their child or children to burry them but that is not always so. I pray that you will find comfort in all the good things said about her
My deepest sympathy.

I was in total shock when a mutual friend informed me of June's passing. I last saw her in Antigua in July. She was just as vibrant as ever. I would not have imagined that it would be the last time that I would see her. My heartfelt condolences to the Abbott family. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

June, you will be truly missed. Had the blessing of working with this fantastic lady during my years at Canadian Airlines, then later with AC, a completely lovely and caring person who always went that extra mile .... this is
a great loss for all, my condolences to the family.

I knew June for 24 years, 19 of which were spent working for CP and AC. I remember in 1985 when she worked the shift dest, valiantly trying to explain to me that things were done differently than in Montreal, in a large office such as ours here in Toronto.
Thinking of when we drove June home from retirement parties, how very sad that she passed away the week before her own. Beverley joins me in condolences to the family.
Rest in peace, dear lady.

My sincere condolences to the Abbot family and those that had the privilege of knowing June.
I have fond memories of being paired up with June to “listen and learn”as a newhire Reservations agent.
I learned a lot from this beautiful person, most importantly graciousness and kindness transcends all languages and can solve any challenge.
Truly a Lady, truly missed.

I can't believe it - I am still in shock. I had to ask June's help with an Air Canada problem about 3 weeks ago. We talked about retirement etc. I have known her since British Airways days. Iris, Betty , Cheryl, David (you don't know me) but please accept my condolences. June was a great gal! Hazel Downes, Professional Travel.

It is so hard to express the words.
June was such a "Lady" she was a pleasure to work with. You looked forward to going in to work just to have a few words with June. My fondest memories are of June's conversations about her "princess" Courtney. I have a daughter close to Courtneys age and we would exchange stories about the girls. My condolences to the family, we have lost a great woman way too early in life.
