I remember my grandmother as a very kind woman with eloquent speech. She would say Hello Darling. She is missed dearly.
We miss her tremendously. June was a very impressive lady in and out of the ring. She would say hello darling, how are you. She had an eloquent speech. We thank her for caring and loving her friends and family.
