Sis I’m truly missing you for your not there to call anymore or ask your advise, or to gather with family like we most always did, when we would prepare our favorite dish for you remember our big holiday meal, our playing the fun yet hillarious gift exchange game, especially the holidays to take with us and share, I miss your belly laughs so full of fun and our joke telling but perhaps we’d tell the answer first, oh well that made us laugh even more, Ok I still have memories of our getting together in your home with once again a spread of food sometimes we’d eat formal at the table, in our laps, on the floor, outside, wherever you placed us. No matter we always had plenty of food prepared even for invited guests. Oh yeah remember when Linda made the Hub Cap Pecan Pies we all had a big Texas sized laugh, but Linda I want to tell you I betcha sis, Red and all the family that was there are laughing again right about now. Not telling all the story but what about you and the chicken feathers
when you were a youngster? Maybe brother Jim or our sis #2 Linda could fill in the blanks. I hope they can remember many more tales or honest stories from way back. I still need the complete story on a very distant Cherokee Indian maiden Relative named Pochahantas. I do do hope the story is to be found. Well Carolyn that’s another reason we would talk and carry on back when I needed information regarding dates of all kinds. I particularly wanted birth dates for the family members for a list I was formatting for everybody. FYI, if you are reading this Sis #1 had put together a lot regarding our family genealogy. Carolyn I really miss you loads please don’t think otherwise. I love you today just as I’ve always loved you. Please tell my Bill & all other family members I can’t go a day without thinking of all of them. Now for the boys, I love each of them but they have grown so far from family. It’s just not right but I will add please be there now for your mom as there’s not a day when I spoke with her that she didn’t mention your names or how you were helping Her in one way or another. I’m speaking of all three. It’s time for you all to be there for your dad as he has also tried to raise you kids better.
Love #3 Sis,
Dorothy.
June was one of the sweetest, kindest and caring person I have ever known. She would absololutely give you the shirt off her back if she thought you needed it. She and Red were great neighbors for many years and Bob and I were blessed to have them as neighbors.
We were so sorry to hear about June. We loved her like a sister. We are so sorry we will not be able to make it down to her services. WE both have health issues at this time. I never see my azaleas bloom without thinking of June she thought they were so pretty. We love you all and are thinking about you at this time.
love you all SYBIL/PHIL
Will miss my wonderful, loving, supportive cousin. She always had a spark for life and a giggle in her voice. I loved her humor and sparing back and forth. I never saw her treat anyone unkindly. My cousins are my siblings and she especially was that. I loved her and will miss her. Rest sweetheart. You are healed now.
May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
You are missed MaMa June, tremendously! R.I.P.
