It´s funny, but I was just thinking about my buddy, June, today. I am sorry that I did not get to say my last goodbye to her.
We were so close and shared so much of our lives together.
I just lost my husband, Joe, in October and can empathize even more with your family now. There is someone missing in your life at this point in time, but she will live in our hearts and memories forever. Love to all of you.

June helped me to learn how to be around horses. But she was a wealtth of knowledge on so many other things as well. At the farm (Old Friends at Cabin Creek) I find so many fellow volunteers quoting June's words of wisdom. Although we miss her, June's spirit will live forever at OFCC.Photo is of June with her beloved horse, Patrick, taken at Old Friends at Cabin Creek Farm.
