  1. June, you will truly be missed. I am so thankful you considered me as your family. I’m sure your sassyness will live on through your kids and grandkids!

  2. The times I have met Ms. Byrnes she was always pleasant and nice to be around. She raised a beautiful daughter who I have come to love as my sister-in-law. May the love she has passed on to her family continue to live on forever in your hearts. From the video, one can tell she was an involved family member that enjoyed being around family and loved ones.

  3. Mom I am sorry I can’t be there. I am out here with Taylor who was named after you and grandma and grandpa now you are with them. I cried thur this video it was a good cry. I will see you soon and maybe we can go dancing. Love and miss you GREG

  4. Thank you all for the kind words… and Gregory Dean… always know that YOU were always and forever will be her favorite 🙂

  5. I’m telling you, I’m gonna miss my ‘sister’ you know someone means something to you when you miss the little things like getting a fruit punch when you see them come in the dining room. Or when they stop you in the hall just to say hi. I guess that’s why you take life one minute at a time even if you’re having a bad day. Because you don’t know when it’s your last minute or someone you care abouts last minute. I’ll miss you June. Youll never be forgotten 🙂

  7. Love this very special lady, she was so much a part of my life, all my life, I don’t remember a day she wasn’t in it or in my thoughts, she was my Aunt by the fact that she was my Mother’s sister, but she was my friend because we shared so many happy, sad and simple memories, I will miss that laugh, that look, t will miss the way she made me feel every time I seen her.. Junie made a difference in my life and I will be forever grateful.
