Gary Peers 16th March 2010

The earliest memory I can recall of June was when she was running a seaside guest house with Dave - in Bournemouth, I think it was. I think it was 'off season' and June and Dave had arranged a big family gathering. Can't remember how old I was but it was a happy time. June was always life and soul at any family gathering and it only seems like yesterday when she was dancing away at Joan's 80th birthday party. Later on when Pam and I were on our first overseas posting in Bonn (about 1991) June and Dave came over to visit us. We had arranged Dialysis for Dave and they both seemed to take this in their stride and not as some huge daunting problem. Others have commented on this excellent website how June liked to be a modern lady and even back then in Germany I think she was the first person we knew with a dishwasher. After the visit, June used to go and visit our cat Tom when he was in quarantine to take him treats - even though she didn't really like cats much at all. June had a definite sense of fun - who else would name dogs; Rigsby, Reggie and Rodney? After Dave has passed away and June was sharing her life with John, I remember them both very kindly inviting me a guest to John's Captain's Day at Buckingham Golf Club and ensuring that I was made most welcome. June - you left us very suddenly without a chance to say goodbye but you have left us with happy memories of your sense of fun and spirit. Rest peacefully. Love Gary & Pam Peers
