Uncle Myles, Linda, Carol, Karen and families, it was with great sorrow that we heard of your news.
As i sorted through my Dads belongings I discovered he had kept the local paper that told of the G I Bride. What a lovely story. Aunt June would have been the envy of a few women in Glenburn all those years ago.
Our thoughts are with you all at this time.
Evelyn Ronnie and family.

As her cousin, June will be remembered lovingly by me. She was a vital part of my life as I grew up amidst the Paterson clan in Ayr and Prestwick in Scotland. I recall her beauty, her vitality and her wonderful sense of humour. I was honoured to be the "train bearer" at her wedding to Myles. I maintained contact with June throughout the years, feeling more like a sister than a cousin. I cherish my memories of June.
To Myles, Linda, Carol, Karen and families, please accept my condolences and those of my family. May God bless all of you according to your need at this sad time.

With love,
Hal, Olive, Stephanie and Hal Jr.
