We love you June.
Karen,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I know how you feel since I have lost mine also. It will be especially hard since the holidays are upon us. You are in my prayers. I can tell you from experience, it will be very hard for awhile. The pain eases away slowly, but you will find there are days where you cry all the time, other days you get through it, but you will always have her on your mind. I want you to remember on Christmas Day, she is having the grandest Christmas of all….. and one day, you will be with her in Heaven. I’ll pray for God to give you strength, peace, and a calm in knowing that June is with Him. God Bless You, Karen.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Nancy,
Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of grief.
Karen, so very sorry to hear about your Mother. Know that you are in my prayers. May God bless in your time of loss.
Dear Karen & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s (sister’s) passing. I worked with June at M.B. Haynes from 1985 to 1992 and she always made me laugh. Many times on our lunch breaks I would ride home with her so we could visit and eat lunch with Ms. Ethel. I only have fond memories of June – she was bright, knowledgeable & insightful with just the right amount of mischievousness to keep things lively. I am very fortunate to have known her and spent time with her. My prayers for you and your family during this time.
Dear Karen and Family:
I have so many found memories of June. I will miss her very much she always had a smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Dear Karen and Family;
I remember when June and Mama worked together at Roses. She was always so good to me and Peggy. My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family. She, You and your Dad are fond memories from my childhood.
Dear Karen,
We are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. We did not know until Monday morning. We can certainly sympathize with you having lost both of our parents also. It is especially hard for only children, like myself. One of your major pillars of support is now with our Lord. Remember that God is still in control. Lean upon Him. ‘The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.’ Psalm 34:18. Please call us for anything.
Love,
George & Debbie Shepard
Karen,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Your mom meant a lot to me.
We love you Karen.
One fun thought about June: I believe she is the reason my mama turned out to be the girly-girl, make-up loving woman she is today. You all have such a special bond and I am so glad you are coming over tomorrow for Thanksgiving.
With love you are always in our thoughts and prayers.
Karen, I am so sorry to hear your Mom had passed. Please send an e mail to me when you have time. Again its been way too long since you and I have talked. God bless you, Robert C Wyatt
Hi Karen, I know it has been a very long time and again I am so so sorry for your loss of your Mom. I remember years ago when your Grand Mother Ethel would call you when you lived I think right behind her. Forgive me, it has been many years. You and I would chat for so long. I would love to hear from you when you feel the time is right for you. My Phone is 623-930-5411 or e mail me at wypie@msn.com Again I wished I stayed in touch more often. Love to all, Robert Wyatt.
