I will miss my sister-in-law, Mary June Simondet. It is so sad that the last years and in particular the last Covid year made it so tough–no visitors.
My brother, Douglas, was the love of her life, I believe, and together they raised 7 children, 3 girls, 3 boys, and surprise ! another girl ! With all those children, she kept a mighty clean house and those kids always were tidy and well dressed. Don’t know how she did it but she did ! I remember a family picnic years ago when all the kids were pretty young, and they left the park only to return a few minutes later to collect one they left behind. (Someone didn’t count apparently.)
RIP, Mary June. Hope you and Doug are dancing away to Moonlight Serenade .
Love to you and your family.
Carolyn
