I was so blessed to have known Ms. June, and working with her at Faulkner County Realty was always a good time. She could always make me laugh, loved her sense of humor! She will be missed. I know she is in Her Father's arms now, and we will meet again! My heart goes out to her family. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

What a special lady, You were my Aunt June. Not by blood, but by love. Many years we shared times in the beauty salon when Dian was your hairdresser. After Dian passed away I will never forget you telling me that you were my 8:30 Friday morning appointment and who ever came at that time could change, because it was your time slot. And it stayed that way until I retired. I loved every minute of time we spent together. You were a book of knowledge on life, real estate, music and the Bible. I loved to hear you sing and pray while under the hair dryer, as if you were the only person around. You were a blessing to lots of people. You will be missed in this old world, but we will see you again in Heaven someday. Love you!!!
To all the family you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't believe our wonderful, sweet cousin is gone. How I used to love spending time at her house. I will always remember her with much love and affection. She and my daughter also share the same birthdate (June 15), making her even more special to me. To know she is with Jesus now is a great comfort.
