Dear Sister June, you were so loved and very much missed by all your family & friends. I am so missing your contact as we swapped movies to watch or just chatted over those last weeks you were alive. You were SO ALIVE, questioning & texting with an interest in everything!! Your mind was still so sharp. I am missing you beyond words, we are all keeping in touch as best we can. REST EASY JUNE, go dancing on a cloud with your Murray. The love of your life !!! From Trisha Lynne xoxo

Sorry I can't be with the rest of the family to celebrate June's amazing very active life. I have fond memories of swimming with June and Holly in lake Rotoroa/Nelson Lakes National Park only a few years back. Anyone else her age would have sat on the beach and watched the young ones swim. Not June, she was part of everything. Dived straight in unconcerned at the size of the eels. That is how she dealt with life. She kept in touch with us all when we were many miles away. She will be sadly missed by all of us.
