Tributes
"I will forever be grateful to this woman. She had such a beautiful heart and spirit, she loved everyone. In reading her obituary, everything said about her is the absolute facts. I did not know of her passing. I just happened to be reminiscing about my childhood, and the people who played a big part in it. She was definitely one of them. I tried to google her name to see if I could find her and came across this. I am beside myself in tears right now, she was such a good person, who lead by the example of how God wants us to be. " Miss June" my heart is broken, but I will never foget you. Rest peacefully beautiful lady."
"To Dana & Family .. I am so sorry for your loss. Vivian Johnson - Buchner"
"I have known June since the days at the First Congregatonal Church! In the past several years I was honored to attend several luncheons at her home. She was the perfect hostess and the table was set beautifully. I know she was proud of her Dutch heritage! I last spoke with her on her birthday. We always talked about the fact that June was born in June! I extend my deepest sympathy and may you hold dear in your heart your treasued memories."
"June was a wonderful friend who will be missed so very much ! She was a thoughtful hostess and made the best Tomato Aspic ! She frequently expressed how fortunate and grateful she was, to have such great "kids" living next to her, who took such good care of her. Cindy's meals were certainly a highlight of the day, as was Jace, whenever he visited ! I am thankful that I was able to talk to her via phone during the last weeks....she was always so upbeat, calm and accepting. Thank you, Dana, for keeping me informed along the way. Your Mom was very proud of you ! With sincere condolences, Ruth Hillman"
