Not sure what to say?

Remembering June on the anniversary of her passing. Her fight for civil, women's, and veteran's rights endures. I will make a contribution in her name today to the Women's Memorial Foundation. Thank you, June for a life well lived. Joanne Rocky Delaplaine

Dear Nicole and Pam;

So sorry to hear of your mom's death. We were very close friends a long time ago-1955-1961 when we both lived in Northwest Park Apartments on New Hampshire Ave. Stayed in touch for a while after we moved to New York, but during the years we lost connection. We well remember both your parents and how proud mom was of her daughters. Our sincere condolences on your loss; she was a most accomplished woman.
Sincerely, Susan and Stanley Friedman

Met you here in Bannockburn where folks like you who invest in all people come to share life. Yours is over. Your work and contributions live forever. You made the Bannockburn light burn brighter - a light for all of us. Not by color, religion or race just cuz wer are us. Thanks,
Jamie

Dear Pam,
I was so sorry to hear about your mother's death. I remember seeing her not long ago, sunning on her driveway. Growing up in Bannockburn, I had long known about her work for many causes, and especially her work with the American Veterans Committee. A close friend of my family was deeply involved in that work with her. Deepest condolences to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy to the family of June Willenz. May you be comforted in knowing that our Heavenly Father cares for you. He will give you strength and courage to cope with your grief.
Psalm 94:17-19

Andy

Sending peace and love to you all. I have such sweet, fond memories of your Mom!
