Ted & Eric,



We are so-o saddened to learn of June's departure from this earth. It is difficult to express how deeply her loss is felt, especially for me-Peggi.



I am so happy to have the good memories that I have of June and our friendship; which dates back to Yokosuka, Japan--late 60's. Just knowing she is gone is painful.



Both Dudley and I want you both to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are here for you, if needed.



May God bless you both.



Sincerely,

Judy / Peter Cordel

Ted and Eric,



I know how much you are going to miss June, but we know it is only for a short time until we see her in Glory and spend eternity rejoicing together.



I can't wait to be with her again.

She was a good friend and I will miss her hugs and her smiles.

My name is Darryl Holt and am close friend of Eric's. Our families have become real close to the Riddles for many years. June was such a kind and loving person. My wife and I were real happy to see her recently and that made her happy to see my family and spend sometime with her.



Ted and Eric are thoughts and prayers are with you both. We will always be here for you if you ever need anything.



Love,



The Holt Family Darryl, Juanita, Alyssa, and Ava.
