I just heard about June's passing. She was a great travelling buddy and we had so much fun together. I am sorry for your loss. June always expressed such graciousness and love to others. She was a blessing to all who met her and you were blessed to have her in your lives.

A family is a circle of love, not broken by a loss, but made stronger by the memories. I am forever blessed that God connected me to you. I am so happy that I was able to spend time with June (my Lima grandma) and her family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Relish the memories you have of her.

My deepest sympathies to all of you. I have so many fond memories of June. And I know that Gay already misses her daily chats on the phone. June was always so very nice and patient with Gay. I know that you, Mike, Dan, Sandy and Poke, will have many treasured memories to bring you comfort in your grief. I still smile when I think of the time she was babysitting me and Sandy's cat was having kittens on the porch. I think she thought I was too young to know anything about birth and tried to convince me that the cat was just going to the bathroom! Again, God Bless and give comfort to you.

I was so saddened to hear about dear June's death today. We shared lunches, visits and stories about our children and grandchildren. Whenever I had the opportunity to come to Ohio, we always tried to get in touch. We shared a grand adventure with our Land & Sea tour of Alaska. My grandson, Dr. Brian Taylor, called her his 'grandmother' in Ohio, and I am his grandmother from No. Carolina, currently. She was one of the sweetest, most loving people I have ever met and I shall miss her.
A friend always,
Rosemary Kusky

I'm so sorry to hear of Aunt June's passing. I remember coming to stay with her and Uncle Bob when I was young. I always loved staying there. She was always so loving and kind to me. I always looked forward to visiting Lima so I could see her. I will miss her so much. I loved her dearly.
I'm so sorry that we will not be able to come for the funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with my cousins and their families. Bobbi
