Not sure what to say?

I have been thinking about June a lot this week, on the anniversary of her death. June and I did several cruises together. One was on a large ship to the Caribbean, and I have just begun planning another Caribbean cruse. One of the most memorable was on a narrowboat in the canals in England. I have just begun watching a documentary on Amazon Prime about narrow boating. The series brings back so many memories of the sights and sounds and feelings. June and I had such a good time, with so many...

When I was a little girl Aunt June drew a picture for me of a farrier shoeing a horse. Being in love with both horses and drawing, it was a pretty darn special gift. I was in total awe of her abilities. Of all of her talents and achievements, many of them listed below, I have to say perhaps her greatest one, along with my Uncle Bill, was raising three amazing daughters, Mary Beth, Margaret, and Kathleen (thought I'd put you at the front of the line for a change MB :) Seeing you at the...

June was a long time family friend, a kind of remote cousin. I attended their wedding. We reconnected when we went to Bill and Rita
Collins' anniversary. She was always pleasant and extremely prompt. When we would go to lunch, she was waiting for me on the bench outside Summit Point. I particularly admired the fact that she pursued her degree from NDC later in her life. Thank you Margaret for calling me and letting me share some memories.
May she rest in peace.

She was a blessing to have here at Green Village. We will miss her dearly. Sending lots of love never forget dinner and a show:)Love Tina

What a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, artist, and friend to many. Always ready to laugh at herself when Dick would call and "June Bug" or "Juney" would answer before he would talk to "Billy Boy Demcheck." June joins those "Hlivak Boys" and is sure to keep them in line. With deepest sympathy in the loss of so bright a light. Love,Jackie

At Notre Dame College, it was a pleasure to work with June. Her wit, kindness,, artistic ability, and generous willingness to collaborate on any activity were so appreciated and valued.
After retiring, she graciously agree to publish a monthly newsletter for the Western Reserve Herb Society. Her mastery of redoing the makeup of the artistic format was outstanding. I was so grateful to her for her expertise.
I will miss her but feel so gratified to have worked with her. Our...

June was talented and she had such a wonderful sense of humor. I loved working with June and spending fun times with her. I am in Florida and unable to attend the furneral but will keep your family in prayer.

I first met June when we worked together at Notre Dame College of Ohio. She was a talented artist and a positive force in the office. After we both retired, June and I had the opportunity to travel together, and took some memorable cruises over the years. We also joined with other friends to attend Cleveland Indians games during the 1990s. So many happy memories give me some comfort as I grieve her loss.
