Grandma June


June was a wonderful woman who always made me feel welcome into the Walters family. She was so kind and gentle and every time I would go to her house she would give me a big hug. I remember the first time I went to her house to tell her and Neldon that I was going to marry their grand daughter Jessica and she gave me the biggest hug saying "in this family we HUG" she then proceeded to pat me on the cheek and said "Bless ya." I will never forget her as a deciple of Christ always showing everyone how much she cares. She bakes rolls for everyone. Whenever we go over there is always food ready for us. I love her and am grateful I met her.
