I would like to extend my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to Junes family, I know she will be sorrily missed . I worked with June at Parker for many years. And she was a hard worker and her family meant so much to her. Especially her son Mark. He was the apple of her eye. She was a good and loving daughter,mother,wife,grandmother, sister and friend. After her retirement If you went into Walmart or Meijers you would always see her and her sister Willie. Where there was one there was always the other. May you rest in peace .
