To know June was to love her.. She was a special friend to me and I did love her. I’m glad God put her in my life. I know the loneliness and emptiness are very real right now but trust that June is in the Hands of the One who can take care of her every need. You, her loving, caring family are to be commended for being her guardian angels while here on earth and especially during her time of sickness. I pray that God will wrap His arms around you, hold you tight, give you strength and comfort during this most difficult time in your life.
Love and prayers,
The Meltons
I am saddened by the lose of June. I worked with June at Kellwood/Fletcher for many years. I talked to her a couple of years ago and the last time I visited her was in 1990 when my daughter was a baby. I knew she was sick and now I regret not visiting her. My thoughts are with June’s family. She was a wonderful woman and I will miss her.
