Nevin and family, so very sorry for your loss, I haven't seen June in a while, but when I did she was her same jolly person. I always remember when Joe, Tommy and I stayed with you and June during the 1972 Flood, what a time we had!! Take care and may you find some peace in remembering all the good times you've shared with June .
