My lovely Sister
Thank you all for memories.  My best was when Mum and I included her in our European journey in 1989. Whenever we crossed the bridges from Switzerland to Germany or the other way round she would tell the Officer that she and Mum were the 29ers and had free passage between European countries. She did this a few times!
Another time was when she and Mum hired a 'Royal' coach to take them racing round town in Strasbourg with flags flying waving bottles of wine.  Mum really livened up when she was with June.
We had a lovely holiday that year.
I can see her now cheering on the French racing cyclists who were following us up to the top of Le Ballon D'Alsace, and when they all passed us at the top, she shouted out "We Won!"  What a girl!.

Our wonderful Auntie June

so shocked along with everyone about our June, she was always so fun to be with.

one of my favourite memories of the amazing June, was we walked together to the passport control after arriving in Mauritius, and there we spent a good 5 mins trying to explain to the charming but very confused officer that June's name was June, as he kept asking her name and of course replied June! He'd never heard of anyone having same name as a month before, he thought it was wonderful and beautifully english, but of course June explained she so wished she was a Victoria!

Auntie June

I always admired our Auntie June (even though she would have preferred to have been named Victoria Elizabeth) for her joie de vivre and shere ebullience and well remember her at age 77 sprinting across the gravel at Méze that time we were all in France for Cathy's fiftieth. I loved that time we were all at the 'Mal Maison' too after lunch chatting and sunning ourselves at Dad's 80th and of course at Mauritius for Gemma and Clives's wedding. We had such larks at Rachel's 50th too for her surprise party with a Greek twist, smashing plates and dancing the night away at the 'Rock of Gibraltar' and later squishing about at the barbeque after a deluge at Sue's 60th. I received a Junie Special for my birthday - in with the card loads of photos all written on the back; photocopies of Rob's birthday card to her and photo album pages and two letters all about having known Clive's Auntie Ros since 1983 and being there for Mum when I was born.

Then a call at 6pm on Friday and later this email from Rebecca "...That afternoon Ruth Mum & myself where on our way to lunch, mum had just had her eyes checked and ordered new glasses the 3 of us was walking side by side chatting and laughing, she was very disappointed that we where going to miss lunch. When she was in the ambulance before we left Dave the 1st paramedic, went in and gave her a big kiss, which she found very charming.

I still cannot believe it, it so unfair there was still so much she wonted to do, I bet she is giving Dad & Frank a hell of a time as she was not ready for it.

Take care with all my love
Rebecca xx
