God speed my friend
Rip June 🕊 🙏
Such wonderful memories of you working with my dad at the mall and continued friendship after that. ❤️
Aunt June, I will miss you dearly. One of the best times I had was with Debbie , Ann and myself getting into a food fight in the kitchen on Sanford St.
We would go for a car ride to no where and any where when Tracy and Jimmy were little.
Listening to Uncle Jim’s recorded music on reel to reel.
You were always someone who could be counted on when a shoulder was needed.
I’ll miss you.
