Dear Auntie June Missed and mourned by a niece and family in Rocky Mt, Virginia, Sue Dellinger Miller. We spent so much time in Portsmouth when we were kids growing up , so many great memories of Cherry Lane, Uncle Cliff and Aunt June and Aunt Lucille and all of us kids running around. I remember my daddy calling June butterfly cause she flitted from one thing to another so quickly..always up, always positive, and also what a good friend she was to my mom ( even tho they were only sister in-laws). I feel so blessed that my brothers and I were able to go see her several years ago and spend an afternoon with her before she got really sick. Love to the family and we are thinking of you all at this time.
