June taught me everything I ever knew about playing the piano. I took 3 years of piano lessons with her. She was an excellent teacher. Sad to learn of her passing. My deepest sympathy to all the family. - Posted by: Janice Hyde Schellenberg () on: Jan 14, 2014

June was my first and only piano teacher. She taught not only notes and technical skills but the love of music. She helped me to be an accompanist at my church which I began at an early age. Our condolences to all the family. - Posted by: Verna Penner Froese (Piano Student) on: Jan 13, 2014
