Our deepest sympathies, Bud and June reached out to us when we first came to California, inviting us for thanksgiving, and ever since their home was open to us. They were a special example of God's love for us...

June will be greatly missed by many. She has touched the lives of my children as well as many others. She was like and extra grandparent to my children. Her advice was a lifesaver many times over. Her understanding was a comfort. Her experience and willingness to go the extra mile to make a difference in the life of a child was priceless. My deepest sympathies to her entire family and extended family. She will remain in our hearts forever.

To the Ctibor family - Our family extends our deepest condolences for the loss of both June and Bud. May you know that June and Bud have been a big part of our family and life in Tulare. June and Bud were like extended grandparents for three of my kids, Katlyn, Eddie and Zack Dawson for many years. When we moved to Tulare and I needed child care I was very blessed to find the Ctibor's. June guided me personally offering advise and lots of love. The kids remember so many fun times at the Ctibor home. This was NOT your typical child care at the Ctibor's. June and Bud raised generations of families. This was a place where God and family were at the forefront. The Ctibor's incorporated education, play, life experience, excercise and even offered swimming. We will cherish our memories and pray for your family through this difficult time. May God continue to bless each of you.
