To the Witchey Family,
It was sad to hear of June's passing. We have been so thankful to have known her and your family over the years, especially when I was younger. She was like a grandmother to me and dear friend to Mom. We have lots of wonderful memories with your family and the zoo. Just know we are thinking of you often.
