Al and Frank…..I am sorry that I was not in town to pay my respects to your Wife and Mother. I had seen you (AL) and June once in a while at Cash Wise shopping. My memory of her dates way back to the days that she worked with my Mother at St. Cloud Milling. My Mom always thought highly of June.
She always dressed so neatly and was friendly to me. Time marches on and her Lord needed her. I am sorry for your loss. Please pass on my Condolences to the rest of your family……Ray Galarneault
