Dear Howard and family,

Our hearts were broken when we heard about June. I learned so much from her in the short nine year friendship. Some people look for problems but June aways saw solutions. She inspired me to take my art seriously, to look after myself and most of all to have fun. Mike's strongest impression of June was that "she had fun". She loved her life, her travels and all your adventures. I admired her attitude during her stay in assisted living (broken leg) and her determination to take back her independance. She didn't let anything get in the way of her trip to France or visits to Boston. I see so many people let compromised mobility inhibit them, but not June. She was an inspiration and a roll model extrodinare. Someone once told me in a time of deep sorrow, "Eva gather your strength from whats behind you". In that moment I realized that the person I lost would always be there, behind me. I know that with June behind you in time you and your family will find the strength you'll need to forge ahead. I will miss her and will never forget her.

Love,

Eva,Mike and Margaux Janda
