I’m so heartbroken at the death of Aunt Joan. She was such a joy so much fun to be around. Aunt June I will always love you and you will be greatly missed.
With love your niece Jackie Heflin
I can scarcely believe that you are gone from us on earth. Oh, how I miss your loving and kind spirit.
I was the luckiest girl in the world to have had you as my Auntie. My Energizer Bunny, who kept everyone
upbeat and happy with your always positive , happy personality and your loving, caring & kind heart. You took so much pleasure in making others feel happy, cared for and loved. You were always gracious and grateful. You were such a special and rare person full of grace. An accomplished, intelligent woman who took much delight in education. Always encouraging all of us to seek & achieve, to be the best we could be according to the gifts that the Lord gave to us.
I am so blessed to have shared your DNA. We are close in body, mind and spirit. I will miss your almost daily talks & interactions as well as your visits. We had many laughs and giggles and so much fun! You meant the world to me. I looked up to you and admired you. You were the best of humanity. Your faith in Jesus unwavering.
May you rest in peace with our loving Lord where there is no more sorrow or pain. We will see you again and look forward to your meeting us at the gates of heavan when Jesus calls us home.
My loving beautiful Auntie I will love you forever.
Your niece Sunshine Betty xoxo
