Sad to here you're gone Aunt June. It would it would have been nice to have had more occasions to get re-acquainted than we did, but the opportunities we did have were fun. I'll always hold dear your sense of humour, as I will your kind heart and warm spirit.

My Dearest Aunt June was a woman of class.
She lit-up a room with the warmth of her smile, that remained everlasting in each one of our hearts. Possessing only knowledgeable and kind thoughts, that were spoken in such pleasantries; you would hang onto her every word to enjoy, to learn, or to laugh. Aunt June dealt with many obstacles in her lifetime...but through each one...she was still "The Rock".
Although she loved and cared for us all dearly, her remaining days were spent in much pain; so she struggled between heaven and earth. I know God needed to take her, then give back to her, all that she had given to others with no effort.
There is no more work for her, it is now time for just her......he decided...June, you will have no more pain and suffering....but only, all-that-is-good.
....Over all this, June, you will be severely missed.

Aunt June, will be dearly missed. I fondly remember the visits (though few) in Las Vegas, Calgary and Toronto. Each time, it felt as though I was at home. Aunt June & Uncle Ted always made me feel so important and blessed when we were together. Aunt June introduced me to Celery and Peanut Butter, it’s still one of my favourite snacks to this day. Thank You for the fondest of memories. God Bless You.
