Our Sincere Condolences
Bret and Gina – I’m so sad to learn of June’s passing…I haven’t seen her for several years but fondly remember her perky/sparky self.
One thing comes back – she had a nickname for me —COUZZ (translation, cousin).
she will be missed.

Brett & Gina-
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was a wonderful woman. I remember her beautiful smile, perfect hair, and what a kind person she was. She was always open to hosting the Class of ‘78 Homecoming Float “building”. Your home was the perfect location and she made us all feel welcome!
