Not sure what to say?

I knew June as a Harn Docent from whom I learned alot as a "newbie". As the years went on, we had a friendship that reflected her warmth, ease in relationships, and kindness.She lived a good life and was an up-beat person. As a docent,I went to the Village to present the ART for LIFE, an outreach program for those who were not able to make it to the Harn Museum. I could always count on June to be in the audience and offer comments related to the Art. She will be missed by all of us who were...

Jean was a wonderful, caring friend. Her knowledge of art and literature always made our conversations interesting. We maintained our discussions of politics right up until the end of her time. I will miss her greatly.

June was the ideal "Dean's wife" -- the epitome of graciousness at institutional functions but also very much her own person otherwise: warm and kind and yet strong and outspoken. She will be greatly missed.

June was my mentor when I followed her as Michigan's Law Dean's wife. She handled everything with such ease, intelligence and graciousness. I can't think of anyone who didn't hold June in high regard and affection. She will not be forgotten.

Im so sorry to hear of your loss. Look to the bible for comfort during is difficult time. Draw close to God and he will draw close to you. James 4:8

I miss our Tuesday night dinner together. June was such a caring sweet person.

June was lovely, so welcoming when I joined the Law School faculty in 1976. A gracious and elegant woman with a shining intelligence.

We are sad to know of June's death. She was a delight and had such fun as a docent at the University of Michigan Museum of Art until they moved to Florida.

We were neighbors of your parents in Geddes Lake for 4 years, and they were such wonderful people. We wondered about them very often.
