    I want to express my condolences and prayers to the Family. Sis. June was a very kind, thoughtful and loving woman. A true child of God, a wonderful Blessing to know and to have spent time with her. She took me under her wings as a young teenage girl ,and would drive to my parents house to pick me up for evening service at West Monroe Street Church almost every sunday night . She will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you Sis. JUNE. PRAISE THE LORD!! SHE IS HOME NOW!!

    Allegra and Mel, we are very sorry for your loss. Although of course this is a sad time, we know you are also content, being certain of where she has gone and that you will see her again. The Lord bless you and keep you … make his face to shine upon you … and give you peace.

    Sis June brought the presence of the Lord down with her piano playing and singing. Everyone in the church was blessed.

    Although we were unable to attend her visitation and funeral, she will never be forgotten.
