Dear Bob, Mike and Jeff;
So very sorry for your loss. Use to see June at Hannaford different times – always enjoyed catching up with her. Did not know that she was ill. When we returned from Kauai I saw it in the paper. Bob I remember how very happy she was when the two of you were married. Always felt honored that I was her Maid of Honor to such a Loving and caring Sister, Wife and Mom. She will be in my prayers
