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.

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…

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
