I am very sorry for your loss. June was one of my favourite people I worked with and I enjoyed laughing with her. She will be missed by me and many of those whose lives she entered.

Tony and family,
My deepest sympathies to you all.
I considered June my best friend. She was always there for me when I needed a hug or just someone to talk to. I loved her and I will miss her.

We will miss Auntie June, she always
had a smile and was young at heart.
She always complimented on how our kids have grown up. She was bubbley and like to joke around and tease. To me she was the coolest and hippest Aunt around. I will miss her.

Our deepest condolences to you and your family on June's passing. My first year in Vancouver (1984) I curled with you in the Nisei League and you and June both made me feel very welcome which was very important to an 18 year old away from home for the first time. June always smiled and joked around with me. She was very genuine and made everyone feel good. Even though I was shocked by her passing, I will always remember her in this way.
Our deepest sympathies,
Trevor Miyahara and Family
