I am very sad about Junes passing. She was a wonderful person with a kind heart, often thinking of others before herself. I enjoyed her letters and cards tremendously over the years. She raised two beautiful daughters and I will remember her as a dedicated wife, mother and daughter. She was a blessing by many things she said and did. The world will miss her but it is a better place because of her. Such a loss to us. I know God is holding her close and Hes holding us close too.

Sending our deepest sympathy to you all at this very sad time. Ill always remember the visits I had with your mom either in the store or when I would be out at moms grave- your mom was always attempting to find that one weed that may be growing or the rock that she might have missed in the field! She always had time to chat and I will surely miss those times! Take care and may God hold you all extra close in these next few weeks. Take care and God Bless each of you!

June was such a wonderful friend. The last time I saw her she went out of her way to talk to me. She had to walk across the street to the post office when she had been walking the opposite direction That was the type of person June was, always going out of her way for you whether it was making cookies on the holidays and running them to the cleaners or writing notes after car accidents. She was always there as a dear friend. I will certainly miss her.
Rest in peace,my friend

So sorry to the familyfriends for the loss of such a wonderful lady. I will always remember her for her smile, and her big hello when I seen her around town. such a sweet lady, full of so much life and spunk! I got to know her from doing home visits with her mother and also caring for her mother in the nursing home. Very hard working too. Will miss seeing her working on old 63 while driving to town- such a hardworker and a great, great person!
Dear Deb and family sorry to hear about your mothers death. May God comfort you and your family at this time and always. I was grateful for your mothers hand written notes of love and encouragement in my own life. She touched me with her words of kindness. May you be comfort knowing she is in heaven with the ones we miss so dearly. Sincerely Vickey Kobliska
With Heartfelt Sympathy to the Kamrath family, May you find comfort in the word of God and in the knowledge that others sympathize with you in your loss. Since this may be one of the hardest things we will ever have to cope with, the bible offers hope. Pointing to a glorious time, Isaiah 258 says, “God will actually swallow up death forever and Jehovah God will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” Please read John 528,29. It has helped many bereaved persons and myself. I pray it does the same for you.
