What a wonderful person & neighbor.
She was always so full of life and helping others. She was very funny and always willing to share her life experiences & stories.
The world needs more people like June!
Never meet this wonderful lady. But in all my years at Carter Machinery, I heard many wonderful stories of her from her son Monti. I know they will miss her dearly. They’ve added another Bright Star in the Sky.
I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT JUNE’S PASSING! SHE HAD BEEN ON MY MIND SINCE I HAD HEARD THAT SHE WAS ILL. JUNE WAS A SPECIAL PERSON AND I, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS, WILL MISS HER CARING MANNER, HER FRIERNDSHIP AND HER SMILE. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MAY IT BE A COMFORT TO THEM TO KNOW THAT SO MANY PEOPLE LOVED THEIR MOTHER.
SO SORRY!!!!Leslie Parrish
