Wonderful Aunt
June was a wonderful person. Always concerned and showing kindness for other people. I remember as a child spending time at her house and she always supplied us with koolaid and snacks. She and my Mom had a deal where one would clean the oven and the other would make corn pie and when the work was done they would share the corn pie and conversation. What a wonderful Aunt. RIP.

My Aunt June've
I heard many stories about how you helped my Mom when I was born. I remember walking from college to visit you. We went to the cemeteries in Oley and I was able to point out graves and tell you facts I learned from my genealogy research and you were able to fill in facts about people that I didn't know. My Dad and Mom told me moany stories and luckily I have so many memories of my own. I love you so dearly! I miss you! DeeDee
