Dear June was a giving woman with enormous energy. She has been much loved. At Harper Gardens she often bustled around sharing her scones with us all, smiling.

I shared some fond memories of Nana, "Nana on the plane" was what we called her which we thought was amusing as kids. I didn't get to see her very often but she was loving during the times that we were together and was very happy to be around us. My fondest memory of her would be sitting out the back yard playing cards with her and the three of us kids. Love Nathaniel

Dear nana, a.k.a water,

For those of you who don´t know, my first word as a child was water, so everyone no matter who you were, your name was instantly water. Obviously I don´t remember these years of my life but from what my parents told me it always drove nana absolutely crazy. My nana was the person in your life that always made you smile no matter what, constantly being the life of the party bringing joy to everyone in the room. Her soul was full of so much love and happiness it was contagious, there was no way of escaping a single day with her, without laughing till you belly ached. Due to being in a different country, my brothers and I never had the opportunity to visit, and spend long joyful days with our nana, but that never stopped her from ringing us regularly to hound us about our boring lives. Every birthday, Christmas and special event you´d expect a call from her early in the morning some days before we even were rolling out of bed. She was always there for us whenever we needed her, dedicating so much time towards our lives and joy. She was always a shining light, and will remain one up in heaven. I will forever love and care for you nana. Love you always Talisha.

I will always remember your sweet gifts and happy attitude. Will miss you love always, Seth
