When June came to work in the Activities Dept. at Westford House I knew she was a godsend. Her devotion and love for Christ shined through her and all the lives she touched were better off for it. When I left my position there I knew the Alzheimer's people were in the best possible human hands. Now she too, is in the best of Hands, even in the arms of Christ. June had a gift for working with the elderly, specifically those afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. My prayers go up daily for those that love her, who she left behind.

To the family and friends of June Luce:
My dear friend Agnes was a patient at
Westford House and sadly passed away this February. June was a golden angel sent from God to work with all the patients at that facility. She made my friends last days at Westford House truly happy, peaceful and memorable. May they both rest in peace. June's love and caring nature will undoubtedly be missed by many.
