She loved roses and had a beautiful rose garden. June also loved to quilt and do puzzles with Eddie. Several of her puzzles are framed. June also had two cats that she loved. Everyone called them Fat Cat.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I didn’t know June well, but always enjoyed my encounters with her. She once gave Sam a big box of tomatoes and cucumbers because his didn’t do very well. She was always quick to smile! Treasure the memories. They are the true jewels she left behind!

This is a sad time, but memories live on and I have many of the days in 1956 when I met June. She was Eddie’s girl and he was lucky he found and married her. They had a great life together, which is a fact that can not be taken away even if she is gone.
