Her grandmother Catherine O'Neill-Driscoll was my great grandaunt, born in Heir Island, Cork,Ireland. I would love to hear from any of June's family. My email is [email protected].
Rest in Peace June.

Another year has gone by and Karen and I think about you often. We both miss you dearly. The other day when it was tough at work I pick up the phone to give you a call.....and even then had to remind myself you were gone. It brought a tear to my eye but made me stop and focus on my decision like you were there....miss and love you.

So much as changed in a year, Hunter is driving and finished his 2 year of football. He got promoted to LT in the Police Explorers and boy are we proud of him. Madi is playing your favorite instrument in the band, the clarinet. She sounds pretty good too. Madi is taking Volleyball lessons, maybe the next Mareta on the horizon lol. She also made the JV Cheerleading Squad and is learning how to tap dance. She is an amazing kid. Alli is doing fantastic too. You would be so proud seeing that she is such a wonderful mother and role model to your grand kids. Boy, I don't think I'll ever stop missing you. I keep wishing I could look over at Hunter"s football game or one Madi's functions and see you sitting there with beautiful smile and words of encourement for the kids. As the years go by I realize more and more how special you were in so many ways. I love you and miss you dearly, we will meet again, love your Danny Boy.

Grandma June you loved without holding back if you were upset I knew it but you loved enough to know being quiet for a little while was best and when you were happy your smile could make me feel like it was going to be just fine. You gave me hope when I felt like the world was on my shoulders and reminded me it was okay to be young and enjoy life. You took time to hear my heart. So much of who I am as a mom and woman can be attributed to the time and love that you gave me. Thank you for combing my hair and braiding it every night, thank you for McDonald's after church, thank you for church, thank you for Lori Morgan at the top of our lungs, thank you for hgtv and coffee on Saturday mornings, thank you for monkey bread and cheese pasta and tomato bake. I love you and wish I would have said all of this and more before now, I hope my children and grand children will witness your loving legacy in me. I miss you.

A year ago today my mom died and my how time flies. It only took me about 10 months to stop being sad about her death. A few months ago I finally crossed that bridge of remembering all the good times and not the pain. I miss her everyday and think of her at least once a day. As long as I do that she will never really die. I will see you again mom and I love you:)

I am shocked and saddened to read about Mama June’s passing. I say shocked because it is difficult to believe that someone so vibrant and full of life could somehow not live forever. I enjoyed every moment with Mama June and always looked forward to seeing her and the rest of the family. To the Iosia family (immediate and extended/adopted – as she adopted so many of us), I extend my deepest sympathies for your loss. I know her absence is felt everyday but it is in the beautiful memories that she lives on inside all of us.

To the Iosia family: I am so sorry about your loss. June was such a fantastic and forgiving person. I am so thankful that I was blessed with her friendship. We worked together at Kemper. We would have "Tea Time" at 2:00pm every afternoon regardless of how much work we had. June was so good to me. I know God has a special place for her. I will always keep her memories in my heart...I love you June.

To the Iosia family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. In the words of Dan, Ms. June was an awesome person. She was like my 2nd childhoodmother, she was always so good to us neighborhood kids. We all belonged to the summer movie club and Ms. June and all the neighborhood mom's use to take all us kids. I remember she would throw awesome parties for us kids. Ms. June is a wonderful memory of my childhood and she will always be in my heart with all those loving memories.

To the entire Iosia Family - Anyone that truly knew your family well, realized that June was the foundation. She constantly allowed Fika and children, Tau, Dan, Mareta and Mike to flourish. She loved you all unconditionally and welcomed all as her own. June will be missed by so many people that knew her. During this difficult time, rely on your failth and your friends. We are all here for you.

Dear Iosia family, from my family to yours, we are truly sorry for your loss. Knowing Mareta and the rest of your family at St.Clement's was an honor. Being new here from another country, Mareta and the rest of my classmates made me feel at home here as part of the St.Clement family. Losing a loved one is hard enough, but now at this time, I wish I could take your sadness away. We lost my father in law last year, so we know how you feel. Today, I light this candle for your family and know that we all care and we are all a call, email, or facebook away. Sincerely with you in my heart and soul.

Dear Iosia's,

I wanted to take a moment and express to you my sorrow for your loss. Mamma June was an amazing woman and positively impacted everyone she knew. During the last 24 years, I have many fond memories and experiences with Mamma June and all the Iosias. From all the kid's weddings, hanging out at the Iosia household, countless get togethers and parties, watching Mamma June on college football national recruiting day and many other memorable events. May all of you have the strength to get through this difficult time and know that she loved each and everyone of you! God Bless.

Dear Iosia's,

Mamma June influenced so many people. I have many fond memories of spending time with all of you throughout the past 24 years. Time laughing and hanging out at your house, your mom watching the college draft, countless get togethers, the kid's weddings, spending time on Bourben street celebrating Mike's wedding and many more special memories. I always felt and still do feel like she was a second mom and I am part of the family. I love all of you and wish you the strength to get through this difficult time. May God Bless.

Dear Iosia Family:
As a girl of 15, having lived in only one place, the last thing I wanted to do was move to a new town. As miserable as I was, how wonderful that my new school was Northeast. It took me a long time to warm up to my new surroundings. Of course, the Northeast family was a large and happy one. One of my first memories was how nice and welcoming the Iosias were. Dan was of course, charming, funny and friendly. He never had anything but positive things to say about anyone and he was extremely thoughtful and complementary. I remember discussing this with my sister once, and she in return had nothing but similar things to say about Mareta. I know that the core of this loving, caring, and decent family is your mother, June, who was not only loved by the Northeast community, but the community as a whole. People do not often realize that the smallest gestures can mean so much, even if you yourself don't remember them or realize them. But June knew this, and it was a special gift she gave to her husband, her children, her grandchildren, and her friends and community. And we are all better off for it. A life filled with love is a life that lives forever. June will never be gone, for she will forever be in your hearts and your smiles. May you always know how much that means to me and to the very many that you may not even realize you as a family lift up in so many ways. May God Bless you, May the Peace, Love and Joy of each other keep you.

I want to share a awesome memory of my mother which occurred on my surprise 30th birthday that my wife set up for me. My wife had a limo pick us up at our house and she set up a this is your life tour. My first stop was at Hollywood Memoral Hospital where I was born. When we drove up I saw my mother my father and my sister standing out front holding it's a boy signs with balloons. I had the biggest smile on my face seeing my folks and my mom had looked so happy and proud. That was a great day. We smoked cigars, laughed, and just had a great time that day. The picture I included was from that day. After picking up my folks we then went to Saint Clements and picked up my good friend Kern and his wife Elkie. We took this photo in front of the school.I love you mom you were the best!
