"My sincerre sympathy to all the family. June was my best friend when we were in 9th grade at Trumann high school. She is the only person I remember from Trumann High. Even though I lost touch, I never forgot her. I still have a picture from those days and have often spoken of her.It saddens me to learn of her passing. Just want you to know that she made an impression.
