To John Youngblood and all the Youngblood Family:
I just wanted to share my condolences in this, your time of loss. Since my move out to Cullowhee, last year, I have not been able to keep up with folks as well as I would have like, and I just learned of this a few minutes ago. However, in June’s case, it seems like the last time I saw her, I have a very happy memory of her looking very well and appearing to do well, too.
I think we will all miss the strong and constant support she gave to so many of us candidates and elected officials, when we think back on all of her political endeavors. More importantly, to my mind, is the fact that she will be dearly missed by the many who called her friend.
I wish for all of you in the Youngblood family, GOD’s great peace that passes all understanding during this time of your loss! But know, too, that she is with the LORD and not in any pain now. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any special needs. GOD bless !!!!
Sincerely yours – Mark Crawford,
