Hello Gene and family. Kate and I were so sorry to hear of June's passing. I will always remember her as a sweet, gentle soul. We think of you both often because the Norman Rockwell picture that you gave us as a wedding gift still hangs over the mantel in our home. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care.
