Steve and Family, Anita and I are so very sorry for your loss. We only had the pleasure of meeting her once but obviously a wonderful Lady.
We are thinking about you and hope the Love around you helps in your healing.❤️
I worked with June at CO-OP gas station on 23rd & Harper 1983ish? She was my 2nd boss and her and Les were good people to me. “June Bug” taught me a lot about customer service, how to fill propane tanks & so much more. I will miss her FB posts. 🙏🏽 I will be thinking of you all.
Sincere condolences to all the many family and friends of a very wonderful lady.. we all miss our visit time with you Jine…. but…God’s got you now.. Blessed Peace..
June was a big part of the Regnier family. I know she made her sister-in-law, Jeanne Regnier (my mother), feel right at home. She also made me feel part of my step-family as well. She led a long and eventful life and is leaving the world a better place for having lived in it. We are sorry to see her go, but are grateful that she didn’t have to suffer in the end. Then, we can be grateful for the faith that we will see all our loved ones again at the resurrection. My condolences to June’s wonderful family!
