My beautiful grandma, I will so miss our talks your advise and words of wisdom. I will love and admire you forever . With so much love, Denise
June made life more fun. Even while she was suffering in the hospital she managed to make it feel like a party. I second all the things people have shared. She liked to dress well. She noticed and complimented others and made you feel like a million bucks. She remembered the things that people liked and if she could, made sure they got them. For example, when my son was young and we stayed with her, she always made sure he had plenty of bacon because that is what he liked at the time. She had a real fun way of talking and remembering so many things! Even though she faced many difficulties, if she could do something, she did! I will always remember how spotless her home was and that after a big surgery she came home and was cleaning the garage floor! I have never seen such a beautiful and clean garage floor! She always made me feel like family. That meant I always felt welcomed and loved. One time we drove over Chinook pass and stopped at Whistling Jacks. We had such a fun time. I think I will miss her laugh the most. I am pretty sure she spent more of her life smiling than not. She was eager to embrace others and life. She could adapt. So many people can not adapt to change and that is one of the reasons I admire her. She showed up. She was there. The longer I live the more I value what that really means. She made it seem easy and did not ever seem her age! Now that I am older I am in awe at how much she did and how much she cared for her family and friends. She appreciated the thing you did for her or gave her, you could give something small, but she made you feel like it was the best thing in the world. When she was in the worst pain imaginable in the hospital, she was still worried about us not having a better visit because of her pain. She leaves a large family of beautiful and amazing children and grandchildren. When someone really special dies, sometimes it seems to me it rains, as if the world is mourning the loss, I smiled this morning when it was raining, after a really long drought, because she is a really special person and the world is mourning her death, but we also celebrate what an amazing life and legacy she leaves this world. Love to you June and all your family and friends!
My grandma June was a Grandma who always was there for you. I was always wanting to be with her even when I was little. She was a great Grandma to our babies Tara marie and Juno and to my husband Art. We would go over every week to see her. Art went out and helped her out with going to stores, and the library, and picked up lunch. She was so funny every time we came over or she came over. She loved holding and playing with Tara and Juno every time she came over. I'll never forget her stories, her love to our babies, her laugh, she loved everyone and was always happy even though she was in pain. She took hours in the bathroom to get her make-up on. She took such good of me when I was little. She was always wanting to go to lunch every week with Art and the kids and me. I'll never forget her baptism when she wore her shower cap and took an hour on putting makeup on. Grandma June was a good Grandmother to all her grandkids and a wonderful mother to all her chikdren. She had a wonderful life she was amazing and beautiful. Grandma June you'll be forever loved to all of us.
I was lucky enough to meet June through Avon two years ago. We hit it off from the get-go and I knew there was something VERY special about June. I would spend more time with her with each delivery. I told her many times, "that when I grow up, I want to be just like her". My husband and I became very close to June and Kitty. She trusted us to take care of Kitty while she was gone. June Loved, Life, Family and dining out or just going for a road trip around town in the evening. Earl took her to her appointments, which we liked to call those days, "Driving Miss June" days.
We were both blessed with her giant smile, hug and kiss each time we came and left. She was very funny about her make-up. She told me that I would make a lot more sales, if she would allow me to take a before (make-up) and after picture of her but we all know that would never happen.
June loved bright colors and bling. I would try to wear the most colorful tops on our daily visits. There will always be a void without June but we have her in our hearts where she will stay forever.
We Love You, June (Bug). Earl and Lynn Simpson, Yakima, WA
