June had a deep love for family, always finding ways to bring everyone together.  When we were young, mom would sew matching outfits, a small but meaningful way to create a sense of togetherness.  She believed in sharing her experiences so that other could learn and grow.  Strong in character and supportive by nature, mom was always there in times of need - offering strength during life's challenges and opening her heart and home to care for those who needed it most.  Her loving was unwavering, and her kindness left a lasting impact.  

Mom's favorite book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach conveys the importance of pursuing your passions, overcoming limitations, and living a meaningful life.  The story is about a seagull who learns to fly and realizes his potential, despite being initially rejected by his flock.  Mom's perseverance and passion to help and support those that she loved, her children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, was very present in her daily life.  We all love her for everything she has done for all of us.  Mom, we are happy knowing that you are now resting peacefully and will love your eternal life at the right hand of Lord Jesus Christ.
