Thank You

I met June a couple years ago; we shared approximately an hour one evening on Wheeling Island. June, you told me things that have changed my life forever. It was one of the most amazing evenings I have ever had. Thank you for letting me share that small period of time with you. I will never ever forget you.

Our prayers are with you.

Joe and family, Denny and I were so sorry to hear about June. We always enjoyed your visits to the pizza shop and we were certainly honored that we were your first stop when you got back from Florida! No matter how bad she felt she always had a smile for us. We know that June is free from illness and is resting with our Lord now. May you all take comfort in knowing that June was very special to so many people.

Christmas Parties At Peterson

I am sorry for your loss. June was a very caring person and loved the residents of Peterson. I was lucky to have known her and have fond memories of helping her at Christmas for many years by being "Santa" for the residents and the joy that she provided to them by having the parties.

A true Spiritualist

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting June's family. I knew June from Way Memorial Church in Wheeling. June gave me a very comforting message a few years back and it meant a lot to me. She was always kind and she was someone I would want to be more like. June is a true Spiritualist--looking over all of us now.

Wilma June Smith

Please know that the family is in my prayers. June was a wonderful & caring friend-more like a mother & teacher to me. I will hold, close to my heart, our trip to Indiana together-we had such a great time.

Kind and generous

Dear June,
Rest assured you will be remembered by many of us in Florida. It is hard to let you go but we know that you are in celestial company right now. Your warmth, friendliness and superior kindness was what attracted me to get to know you a little better. May your family find peace in knowing what a great person you were.
May you keep us all close in memory. Flowers of prayers for your family and for you, Dear June, eternal life.
