I met June in the early 60s and I moved in with her in Richmond a short time after that. I remember hunter very well and she had already met the love of her life Jim. When she moved to va. Beach with her husband Jim I would visit a lot and through the years we send Xmas cards and talked at least once a year. That call made the years fall away and we talked as if we had just seen each other yesterday. I have been so worried about her and today I just found out. We loved each other and I will forever miss her.

So sorry to hear of June's passing, especially so soon after Jim. I am Syds wife. Its been a while since I saw your parents. I visited them a few years ago while I was at the beach. I will always have fond memories of family reunions. So many of my generation have passed and I have not kept up with the children. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
