My deepest sympathy to June’s family and friends. May you find comfort and hope in the promise at Revelation 21:4 where it says “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I am truly sorry for your loss.
