June will always be remembered in our hearts as a warm and compassionate person. To quote scripture: as long as we live, She shall live, for we remember her. We share Michael’s and his family’s sense of loss and are comforted by the good deeds June performed daily in her all too short stay on this Earth.

She was and always will be Junie to me. She was my babysitter and my neighbor when I was small. Her parents, my Aunt and Uncle . Years go by and with social media I was lucky enough to have found her. We were able to reconnect a bit. Of which I will forever be thankful for. My parents built the house at 129 on property purchased from the Lauck's.

We had the pleasure of meeting June and Mike for the first time on Nantucket, just a few short months ago. The pleasure was all ours, indeed, as we found the most loving, thoughtful and kind beings in each of them. We'll never forget our brief intersection with these two, and June will hold a special place in our heart. Mike, we pray that peace will find you and offer strength in the days ahead, and know that you will always have friends in Chicago.
