My contacts with this lovely lady were when I would visit son Dave at their home on Government Ave. Dave and I were both single fathers living with our parents. June was an intelligent, witty mother. We spoke on many occasions when I would visit with Dave and Rachelle. Even though I wasn't close to her, I respected and enjoyed our brief encounters. I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to Dave and Rachelle. I'm sorry we lost touch. - Posted by: Ken Stear (friend of son David) on: Jan 06, 2014
