    June was a great woman whose presence was powerful. She wasn’t one for silly small talk. Instead, June would smile widely when she saw you and then get right to it: How’s that job going? Why don’t I see you more often? She genuinely cared about you and your answer but she had no patience for the pleasantries that take too long to perform, especially in a crowded setting. She was smart, very funny and as caring as they come. Knowing June for as long as I did, this is the point at which she’d say sternly, “They got the point – I was a real sweetheart – now wrap it up.” She will be so greatly missed.
