I remember Aunt June always made the best cookies for our Christmas Eve family gathering. Her sense of humor was too funny and it seems like she was always laughing. I will truly miss her but I know she is at peace. I love you, Aunt June.

She was always so sweet and kind to me. I will always remember her smile, laugh and her sense of humor. I will always be grateful that she was a part of my life. Her memory will always make me smile.

My most vivid memories of Aunt June are her laugh and her divinity. She had such a jolly laugh and her divinity was the best in the world. I love you Aunt June!
