We will miss our friend and neighbor June who was also mother in law to our son Steve. She was a beautiful, kind, generous and loving woman who dearly loved her friends and family. She leaves her wonderful husband Doug and her beautiful loving daughters Melissa and Kim and her father in law Bill who was so supportive and caring. She is with Jesus now where there is no suffering, only happiness and love. Her memory will live on and not be forgotten.
