Loved Aunt June, such a sweet lady. I visited right before she was moved from her home and it was so pleasant.

June & Jack were great neighbors & good friends to me as I grew up in the community. June shared her transparent ’June’ apples with us & encouraged me as I began my nursing career. She will be missed.

You will be missed by all.
Love you.
I’m so sorry to the family of Mrs. June. Jack & June was my Mamaw Ferguson neighbors. Growing up I always enjoyed visiting with them both. I have thought of them often. Prayers to the family during this time.
June was my Great Aunt, my daughters' Great Great Aunt and my 2 grandsons' Great Great Great Aunt. She loved it when I would take the boys to see her and Uncle Jack. She was always so proud of my daughter and both grandsons. Just a few short years ago I spent a week with them to help them and would go often to see her. I just saw her a month or so ago. I'm glad I spent time with her! She was a go getter and so spunky! She's dancing in Heaven now with Uncle Jack! Fly high sweet lady, you've earned your wings! I sure will miss you! I love you!
