Just wanted to say how sorry I an for your family’s loss. My prayers are with you and your family.
June was the oldest of the Griffin cousins. Always generous and kind. I remember her visit to see me in Florida. We took the train to Miami and had fresh squeezed orange juice every morning! She dubbed herself the “Queen,” and truly, she was. We will miss her!

We have loving memories of June welcoming us to Boston to participate in her family functions whenever we came to town. She was a delightful lady with a keen mind, sparkling blue eyes, and a loving heart, forever devoted to her family and friends. Our trips to Boston will not be the same without her. Much love and condolences to Kerie and Kathy and all of the family with this loss. Susan and Roger. Amick
