Linda and Kathy: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. June was a great person. I spent a lot of time with her as a child and loved her very much. I will try to get in touch with you when I come to Springfield.

Grandma June was a caring and thoughtful woman. She did whatever she could to help out her family and friends. She will be greatly missed by her great grandchildren, Jasmine & Chrissy and also by her ex-granddaughter-in-law, Carla Brennan. She was very kind to me & always believed in me and I will never forget her. God bless all of Grandma June's family and friends.
