Sorry for the death of your Mom. She was like a sister to me for
many years. After Richard died we seemed to lose our connection.
I also remember all the holiday celebrations and updates on her kids and mine that we shared. I hope your memories will be the good times and the love she had for all of you including Sue and her husband. I wish we lived closer to share many of my memories I have too. Love to you all,
Terri

I'm very sorry to learn about June's passing. I have fond memories of her sense of her sense of humor, her love of square dancing and will never forget the 442 that took off like a rocket. Also remember Silky and Max and her devotion to them. I share my condolences with the family.

We all have such fond memories of June! She had a great sense of humor and she and my Mom, Rosemary had many good times together as life-long friends. Speaking on behalf of the Sposito's we are deeply sorry.

My husband Bruce and I were in East Granby today and stopped at the Harford Mutual Society Cemetery to pay our respects to my cousin Richard. We were sad to see that June had recently joined him. My dad and I had both tried to contact her in recent years without success. We are very sorry for your loss.
