Such a beautiful woman inside and out with a heart of gold. So glad I was given the opportunity to meet Momma June. Prayers for the family during this time.
Me and my son always speak of the happiness she has ,no matter the situation she put so much positive energy , any room she walked in it was joy,The respect for this lady is something me and my son will always remember and pass on what we seen in her , Enjoyed cooking her Talapia sandwich at the restaurant she would always say I just want a half sandwich or I’ll split one with Reggie in white bread and I knew if she liked it I was doing something right .Now you can teach others what kindness is all about, God Bless
My whole life you treated me with love and compassion. You beautiful smile will forever be embedded in my memory. I thank God for your soft spoken words and your guidance. The Palmer Family Reunion will never be the same without your presence. Rest in heaven dear Cousin June🙏

To the family. Mama June was a loving, sweet spirited, kind- hearted individual. I will miss that sweet smile and her soft spoken words. She loved the Lord, her family and friends. May God give each one of you the strength and courage you need to get through this trying time. May God’s love abound. We love you. Blessings…
My condolences to the McDonald family, from Thelma Hadley and family. God bless you all
For many years Mrs. McDonald has been such a special friend to the Mastin family. Thinking of all the times spent together traveling to the Feast of Tabernacles, sharing meals and special occasions. Forty-two years ago being newly married I moved to my husband’s hometown Fayetteville, TN where I didn’t have family or know anybody. Mrs. McDonald and her family were so kind and welcoming to me, which made the adjustment much easier. We will always remember her kindness.
Our condolences to Junelle, Tonya, and London Wilson; love and praying 🙏🏽 for you and your family at this time of loss.
Sincerely,
Reverend Dennis and Mother Ida Harrison
