Sorry to hear of June:s passing.Although I only had a chance to talk with her a couple of times, my aunt (Gwen (Duffy) Rogers) was a friend of Junes.
So sorry to hear of June's passing. We all loved the time spent with June (and family) over the years.

Our prayers are with you all at this sad time.
