Dear June’s Family
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of June. Working for June as a caregiver was a pleasure. June was a wonderful person why always treated me with kindness and respect and made me very comfortable being around her. She wasn’t just my client, in a short period of time she also became my friend. I will always cherish the time and the memories we had together. May she rest in peace.
Sincerely, Lindita Pollo.
We knew June from our parish and loved her vitality and joie de vie.
She’d dance up a storm at the parish parties and always helped with activities. She was a wonderful lady.
June was a beloved sister-in-law to me. She was a beautiful woman with a deep spirituality and she will be missed. I loved her sense of humor and we have many fond memories of her. My mother Rita thoroughly enjoyed being with June over the years. I am sad for her family.
I also send my love to Mel who was such a faithful companion over the years. He is also very dear to me. I sent blessings from Waco Texas.
