Jim, Linda, Karen & Bob,
It is so sad to learn of the passing of your mother. She was truly special. While June is off to heaven and her pain has been relieved, you and your clan all are feeling the pain of her loss and we want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
I will "ring the bell" at the head of your driveway on Swainwood in tribute and dream of simpler times and being reunited with your mother again one day.
Regrettably, I will be unable to attend...

Dear Jim, Linda, Karen and Bob,
Bill and I would like to send our condolences to the loss of such a loving, caring, enthusiastic, inspirational, quick wit, neighbor, friend, Mother.
Her example of how she lived her life and how she treated little people and big people was the roll model for me. June made going to school an adventure. Your house was always open to little people who might want to stop by for a gum ball with a ring of a school bell your parents would hear as they opened...

Dear Jim, Linda, Karen and Bob,
I had the privilege of teaching with June at Lyon School for many years. I was on her first grade team. She was such an amazing, creative, positive teacher! Always had a can do attitude and high expectations for all her students and her team mates. We had so much fun doing her Halloween Play and pretend trips to different countries where she would transform her classroom into rain forests and Japanese tea rooms. June loved adventures and we all learned so...

Dear Jim, Linda, Karen and Bob
Your mom was such a great person. All the #34 teachers loved her dedication, humor and talent. Besides all the great shows, we couldn't wait to fly to a new country with our passpairts using the plane in the hallway. She was also a true friend, and her stories about the four of you got me through many a teenage year with my own children.
I knew her as a friend, a colleague and as the teacher of my children. I know how much you loved and appreciated...

Dear Jim, Linda, Karen and Bob...I am so sorry to hear about this dynamic woman's passing. She is so very special to all the Windler's in so many different ways. Oodle's and oodle's of fabulous memories from babysitting for you guys (got my best rate from your parents) to The Swainwood Sparkler's, she hosted bridal showers and parties galore. Such a creative, beautiful, hysterical woman. But my ears can still hear the "Bell" ringing calling all Ploen's home for dinner. My prayers are with...
