What a gem! One of the most important people in my life.. I'll never forget my time with her at the ballpark. Can still see her face and hear her voice. I'm sure the umpires in the league knew that voice! Going to miss dearly..Best wishes to Seth, Jack and Keith. Fond memories!

June brought so much joy to me each time I saw her. You could tell she was filled with the Holy Spirit by her loving nature. What a reunion she is having now in glory! I look forward to seeing her sweet smile when I see her in Heaven!
