I Missed your birthday June 14th, 2014. I wish I was at the house with everyone to celebrate my favourite person. I know you know I love and miss you but it was still hard watching everyone go but me. Your forever on my mind. I was thinking about the time I called you on the phone and you walked with me into my University graduation lolololol. I still laugh at that and I smile to think at how proud you were of me at that moment. You were the only one that had that hounor, the only one person I thought to call to be at my side. I love you - Posted by: Natalie Gyles (Grand daughter) on: Jun 17, 2014

Aunt June...to me she was a mother, aunt, friend and a confidant..life is full of surprises, some of which takes us in some unwelcome directions, but as a follower and a believer of GOD, I come to recognize that there are things in life that gives us (jarring blows). I am wise enough to know that GOD doesn't cause bad things to happen but at times he ALLOWS it. We know that death is inevitable it's also the last enemy, the bible foretold that soon death will be brought to nothing. Everything that happen, happens for a reason, even thought it hurt us so badly, we dont know what the future holds but we can trust in the one who holds the future. Although Aunt left us with heartache, we know that she is in a better place..one day we all will be a memory for some people, we have to do our best to be a good one.. she has made that mark of being a good memory. I can still hear Aunt June telling me that GOD sit high and look low..PHENOMENAL WOMAN YOU ARE IRREPLACEABLE. We will continue to make it through with prayer. thank GOD for the resurrection hope that he promise us, as (titus 1 v 2)tells us that GOD cant lie, i am so looking forward for that great day, when we can meet our love ones again..to all my cousins, keep on praying without ceasing. GOD'S richest blessings. - Posted by: Marcia Francis (Niece) on: Oct 16, 2012

My family and I met Aunt June,as she is affectionately called,when we moved into the community of Franklyn Town, and in particular on Somerset Ave in 1976. We were neighbors. She was a dedicated, loving and caring mother not only to her children but to her neighbors' children as well. Aunt June was always jovial and full of life with a bubbly personality. Being around her you would never have a dull moment because, rest assured, she would find something humorous to relate for you to laugh about. She was very eager to share whatever she had, whether it be her smile, time, advice and her very distinct laughter. She was somebody of integrity who you could confide in. She was also an excellent cook, and no one who came to her home would ever leave hungry. Aunt June had me loving Fried Plantain because this was a must-have side dish with every meal that she prepared. There are so many things that I can write about this truly amazing mother, grandmother, aunt and friend but time would not permit. May her soul rest in peace and light perpetual shine around her. Gone but by no means forgotten. On behalf of my mother, Miss Madge Dawkins, (her friend since 1976)my siblings Corine and Nadine, I wish to express our deepest condolences to her entire family. May God grant you the strength and comfort you need in this time of bereavement. We will continue to hold you in our prayers as you go through this difficult time. - Posted by: Marcia Salmon-McKay (Friend) on: Oct 08, 2012
