I have always thought my Great Aunt June was one of the smartest, toughest, kindest and classiest women of her time. She will be dearly missed and warmly remembered.

Linda,
My mom and I were very sorry to read about your mother’s death. I remember how kind she was when we spent time together in Junior High and High School. I was so surprised when I moved into the townhome directly north of hers in Candletree. My mom and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this sad time.
