    So sorry to hear about your mother. When I think about June one word that comes to mind…”spunky”. She certainly didn’t let any grass grow under her feet! Wanda always thought so highly of your folks. Anytime she had spoke with June she would always keep me updated with her news. Even when they have lived a full life and their time here is done…it’s still hard. May you find comfort knowing she is in good hands.

    Blessings,

    Joyce Drummond
