Not sure what to say?

I'm so very sorry to hear of the passing of June. It was my pleasure to have been her dental hygienist and friend for twenty years. She was the sweetest and I'm lucky to have known her. Rest in peace sweet June, I will never forget you xoxoxo

I was lucky enough to have Miss Turner for 8th grade social studies in the mid 1970s. I found her a little intimidating at first, but I really appreciated what she taught us (yes, like writing a check!) and the very high standards she set for her students.

Eternal Affection Arrangement- BASKET INCLUDED

I served as Richard and June's financial adviser for many years. Great couple. We shared many conversations at their kitchen table. They loved the wildlife in their backyard. June loved the turkey tips at the 99. We broke bread often. I will miss her kind spirit and gentle ways

June played a great role in my life after I graduated from college. After several interviews I became a member of her department in 1975. She was fair, tough but demanded her department do the best for the students. If any of her colleagues had a crisis June was there for them. June will always be in my thoughts and prayers
