To John and family,
We met June 3 years ago and were lucky enough to build June's pool. She kept my husband on his toes and I always would find a way to check on the site as she and I would then get to chat.
When my husband was told I was stopping by June's pool, he knew the one hour return window to the office was a joke - he knew she and I could chat each other's ears off! The same applied when she came into our store - once pool stuff was discussed I'd be given updates on grand babies, her children as well as other things. My husband and I didn't know her as long as others, but to both of us she always brought a smile when she came in the store or out to service the pool. Charlie and I will sorely miss her sass and smile and we send you , John and family, our warmest thoughts, as we'll be missing her - Charlie & Julie Burger

June was such a great person, mother, wife, and teacher. Her students loved her. She was so outstanding as a teacher. Years later the kids were still talking about their beloved teacher, Mrs. Berean. Her passing is such a great loss to her family and friends.

So sorry for your loss, she will be greatly missed.

"To everything there is a season", but I wish June had more seasons. I will always remember her smile and how she made me laugh. We had lunch together once a month for years,but I have never met her family. I have seen pictures, know how much she loved them, and worried about her husband when this day came. She alone could get me to dress up like Sandra Dee and make me laugh so hard it hurt. I loved hearing about her travels and decorating plans. We'd laugh that we didn't know what half the buttons on our sewing machines were for and kept saying one day we were going to travel to a huge quilt show. You know what happens to those "some days." I didn't know her when she taught, but I can imagine how many lives she has touched. I know how much she touched mine. Sympathy to you all. This wonderful lady will be missed by so many.
