  3. Barbara,
    I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. I thought June was a very kind and thoughtful person and I always enjoyed talking to him when he would drop by the office to see you or called on the phone. He was always so jolly and upbeat. May
    God be with you and comfort you.
