June will always be loved by the Anderson's, and remembered fondly for all the wonderful times in Eastham. We'll miss her so much, but she'll always be close...perhaps drinking a cocktail at First Encounter Beach with Aunt Bertie, watching the sun set.



Our deepest sympathies go out to Joan and all the rest of June's family and many friends. We'll see you again June.

June will always live on in my heart as a good teacher, woman of Faith and wonderful friend and human being. She was, indeed, unique. My deepest love and sympathy to her family and especially to Joan. Until we meet again, June, keep the Rummy Kub tiles warm.
