Mom, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and miss you. I look at your pictures and remember all the little things you'd say that Dave and I still smile at...Juneisms. You were a terrific mother, amazing grandmother and Nurse Jane Fuzzywuzzy to many people in Dr. Martin's office. You took care of so many people and were very instrumental in their lives that I am sure you will never know. Someday, we will all be together. Until then, we will always love you.

Dear Warren, Sallie, Avery, Pete and Uncle Dave,
I smiled when I saw June's photo today. I now know how Sallie got to be such a beauty! They could be twins!
You were such a wonderful and caring family. When it appeared to everyone else that she was unaware of her surroundings, you never gave up. You told her stories. You stoked her hair and kissed her cheek. Heaven is now a much happier place.
All our love,
Rebecca and John

Sally and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I carry a lot of memories from Dr. Martin's office and, of course, all the memories of us growing up in church together. May you and your family find peace and comfort in this time. I hold all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sallie and Family,
Your mom was great. She always had a smile and a sly twinkle in her eye. When I knew her (when we were teenagers), she was a no-nonsense mom with a sense of humor. I hope she's free now to look down on all of us with all her memories intact. I know she'll be woefully shaking her head and laughing.
Love and a big hug,
Jane (P.) Barth

Dear Friends:
I remember all too well all the wonderful times our Mother, Joyce Dresser had with June. They went to nursing school together and many a good time was had, when all the nursing gals got together at parties hosted by my mother when she was alive. All I can say is God has the best nurses in the world up there with him. Bless them all.

Sallie,
My sympathy on your Mom's passing. I only met your mother on my visits to Dr. Martin's office but her smile and kind presense always made a trip to doctor a little less tense. Keep her in your everday life with your memories.

Sal,
A lifetime of memories to list between the families...the Greiners and the Kellers...wow! It has been a great journey.
Know that my heart is carrying you, Warren, Dave, Pete and Avery closely today as I do everyday. I'm sure that June would be comforted knowing you have each other, to share and live out your lives with the zest that she possessed. Keeping her great smile in our hearts will in turn keep us smiling as well.
