June,
When I see these words I will always think of you; to be such a little short person, you were very strong physically, emotionally and mentally.
You were always ready to give guidance to whoever asked and needed it.
You were quick to give and forgive and you didn't mind showing gratitude toward others.
You were a dreamer, you shared your dreams with others through your work with flowers wanting everything to be beautiful.
You were full of joy. Joy of the Spirit is the greatest joy.
You had a deep faith in God and through your faith you were able to give and show all of the above and more.
There were four of us and now there are only two, Betty and I want you and Addie to save seats in Heaven for us.
