Hi Momma,
It’s just me, June, checking in again. I love and miss you more than ever!! Luis and I were chatting about you, he misses you too! You are still the best Momma ever! We love and miss you so much!! Wish you were here to see how big your Alex and Aaron have grown.. I know you and Daddy are watching over us. God bless you both!?
I loved my Momma with all my heart. I was the baby of the family..there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss her. We used to watch old movies together and dance around the house to some of our favorite songs. We enjoyed laying out in the sun together… She always sent cards to everyone on special occasions and never missed their birthday. She spent her $$at Hallmark and hard numerous cards she loved to look through while we chatted on her bed in her room. There’s so much more..but, I miss you Momma..I love you. You’re the very best mother.. #6

My thoughts are with the family.
i saw Betty Wilcon Hunt’s picture and was shocked, was she related to the following family???
Hunt, Barton, Wilcox and Ecker.
My grandmother Grace Hunt and her two sisters I knew, Aunt Bessie, and Aunt Ruth could be Betty Wilcox Hunt’s sister, they look so much alike.
I hope you forgive me for this, sorry I didn’t know her. but I feel I would have really liked her.

My thoughts are with the family. I have not seen Aunt Betty in a long time but I know she visited my mom Dorothy and sent cards continaully until her passing. She was a wonderful woman who Steve and I both loved very much. She will be missed.
