June Alene Berglund

I just found out about the passing of a very special person in my life. My family lived next door to the Berglund's for years. Floyd and June's boys were the only other kids on the block so we became fast friends. June always welcomed me into her home and was like another mother to me. I spent many hours in her home. Was always neat running into her at the Courthouse too. When my mother passed away in 2002, my sisters and I visited June in the nursing home. She was very excited to see us. She was a wonderful, loving person who would do anything for you and will be dearly missed.
