June had such a happy attitude and made me one of the rugs that she made and sold at craft sales. She and I had talked about them and told me how she used old sheets in making them. My mom happened to clean out her linen closet around that time and gave me several that I remembered from growing up to give to her.

She made me the rug not too long before she wasn't able to come to church any longer. I have missed her and am sad that I have not been able to see her for so long as she didn't want visitors to see her after she wasn't able to get around. Talking with her on the phone was just not the same...

Grateful for the time I got to know her.

We enjoyed seeing June's smiling face at church on Sunday mornings. Especially when she emptied the coins from her purchase and put them in the big jar for the "Change Our Children" fund. We will miss the letters and notes she sent to us. She was such a wondering lady.
