June was always so classy and elegant. I remember her serving us ice cream on her fine china when we were kids (much to our parents dismay ). June always took the time to listen and buy whatever we were selling for school. What a wonderful woman! My thoughts and prayers to Lyle and the family.

June was always so classy and elegant. I remember her serving us ice cream in real china when we were kids (much to our parents dismay). She was never too busy to hear about the latest thing we were selling for school. A wonderful woman! My thoughts and prayers to Lyle and family.
