Dear June, Rand & Craig,

I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. When looking back, and reminiscing on our carefree Bermudian summers, I will all ways recall with extreme fondness, both of your parents who were so extraordinarily amazing!

I will never forget their zest for life, sense of fun, generosity of sprit, bountiful hospitality, but more importantly, of their interest in others, especially with the young.

With deep condolences and sympathy,

Love,

Leighton H. Coleman III

I met June when Randy died and thought her a lovely, vibrant and certainly colorful woman. I will always have fond memories of my too brief acquaintance with her.

I feel so fortunate to have had Mrs. Speight as a friend. I will miss her intelligence, her thoughtfulness and her smile. She was one of those rare few who alwats made you feel welcome and at ease. My thoughts go out to June, Craig and Rand during this difficult time. If there is anyhting I can do for any of you, don't hesitate to ask.
