Sorry to hear of June's passing. We were classmates for 4 years at Holy Family. June was always a lively participant in all activities at school. I know she will be missed by family and all who were her recent associates. I will add her to my daily prayers.

My sweet Sisson sisters, your momma was another mother to me. She always treated me as one of her own probably because I spent so much time at your house. She didn't have to be that woman in my life but she always made me feel welcome. I love her, always have and always will. Thank you for sharing her with me.

Auntie June, you were there for my mother and our family for my entire life, and words cannot express my sadness at your passing. You have left behind a wonderful legacy of children and their families that spread your love and caring across this planet. Godspeed, sweet Auntie June. Kiss Auntie Ann for me!
