Heaven has received a beautiful person. Her frail body has been replaced by an incorruptible one that will never get weak, decay or die. Our loss is heaven’s gain.
So sorry for your loss. June will be missed.
Sorry for your loss! Prayers for comfort are with you. 41 years is a long time or not long enough to love someone!
To June’s Family, I remember June’s (and Louis’) great love and care for their foster children. They loved helping children; the house was a wonderful place to visit. It was a joy to see June with the children. Sincerely, Mary Virginia Pool
June was my precious daughter in law for 41 years. We kept our promise to her mother Lois Snodgrass to take care of her the best we could. She is with her mom and dad now and I know they are rejoicing.
My sincere condolences for your loss. I remember June and Louis bringing foster children to church. Give Louis a hug, and may God give you all peace of mind and comfort in the days ahead. Nana Cornwell Baugh
Freda, so sorry for the loss of one of your family members. Prayers for you and the rest of the family. May God bless you all.
My deepest condolences to the family. RIP June.
Very sorry June had to leave us but shes in a better place now no more pain ! RIP Junebug
I knew June for the past ten years. I have never met a more loving and caring person. She had that smile and precious hug each time you saw her. Rest with God now. You are Home. Love you, June. Will miss you!
I remember June from high school. She was always a sweet, caring person. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow, Louis . God Bless.
Dear Louis:
Bill and I are praying for you and your family. God will grant you his peace that June is dancing in heaven and she is healed. We did not know her, but we know that she was an amazing woman. ????????????????????????????????❤️❤️❤️
Louis, our sincere sympathy. God must be smiling with June even now. She showed her love for our Lord as well as her love for you. We pray God’s mercy, grace, and blessings as you learn to live without June by your side. Joyce and Danny Rowell.
Mrs Freda, my deepest condolences on passing of your daughter in law. It’s been many years since you & I have seen each other.
June, your kindness and faith will continue show us the way.
We have met Louis and June for dinner almost every week, usually on Monday nights, for the last 15 years or more. We knew what June would order at every restaurant and most of the wait staff knew as well. Sweet tea. Chicken fried steak, fries, corn (in a separate bowl) and gravy on the side – unless we were at the taqueria. Then it was two cheese enchiladas, no onions, and two more to go. She never complained, and I know she was in pain so many times. Monday nights won’t be the same without her. I’ll miss her smiles, her hugs and her calling me “sugar”. She leaves such a hole in our hearts, but I know she’s free of all constraints, and she’s with her Lord. And I know I’ll see her again one day.
Louis, I just learned of June’s death today when Rhonda mentioned it. She was a special friend when I went to church at Bosqueville. We shared a love of singing alto together in the choir and had many laughs when we didn’t have a clue as to what we were doing!! Due to my shoulder surgery and two weeks in Brazos of Waco Rehab, I kinda lost track of time and hadn’t been on FB or read the paper much. BUT, I do understand your pain and at lot of the feelings you are going through as it has been only six months since Ron passed. I still have my days (and nights) where I just have to let it all out but then go to the Lord for renewed strength to go on. I’ve not moved one thing out of his closet and don’t know when I will as it seems like he’s still here as long as they are. Ron shared something with you that you just witnessed too. He lost his first love of 42 years on Valentine’s Day. Needless to say, that was a hard day for him every year. I’m here if you need a friend to talk to.
Louis,
Praying for peace and comfort in the midst of your sorrow.
With heartfelt sympathy ????????????
Louis we are so sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife June. We know you will miss her dearly. Your video paints an amazing picture of your wonderful life together. Hugs for you and the rest of your family.
