I have known Mrs. June for several years, and will remember her as such a sweet, southern lady. She encouraged me as I branched out of my comfort zone, preparing to leave 27 years of teaching and try something new. She was always thinking about others, I can see her now, walking out of her office and saying " I think we need to ............ and it would be to sent food or flowers or whatever to someone who was having a hard time or just needed help. That is how I will remember Mrs. June, a quiet, unassuming, lady who gave so much.
