Wade, so sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was a working buddy of mine at St. E,s. We also enjoyed going to the Muny Opera together. She was a great gal.

‘Aunt June’ was a funny, quirky lady who always made me laugh. More importantly, she was the saving grace of my beloved Brandy. The bond between them was remarkable, and I know she will continue guarding (and yelling at) Brandy from heaven. I’m glad you are no longer in pain, Aunt June. Go find my mom, introduce yourself, and you two cause some trouble up there! ❤️ Your presence here will be greatly missed.
