June was a very special lady – an ESA sister and a good friend. She was always fun to be around. She had a quick sense of humor and laughed often. I am blessed to have known her and will miss her greatly.
Always full of life & love! Raised a fabulous family! We will miss seeing that twinkle in her eye! Love, Pat & Janice
