To the entire Williams family, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother June. Your mom was always so very friendly toward me since the day that I met her, shortly after Jim and I were married.
Jim and I enjoyed chatting with June at breakfast at the Elks club, always sharing family stories. She was a wonderful, Beautiful woman, please accept my most sincere condolences on this terrible loss.

I have known June for many, many years. First met when I was about 7 and she was working in the library with my mother. Got back together with her when I joined the Elks in 2001. She became my best friend after that. We traveled to conventions together and out to dinner almost weekly. We even went to trivia together monthly at Rensselaer Lodge. She was my closest friend for over twenty years. I will always treasure those long phone conversations when we talked until one of our phones died. I will miss her very much. I want her family to know that they are in my prayers and I am very sorry for their loss. I will never forget her. May God be with her and keep her safe.
