My mother in law, June Harper, quietly passed away in her sleep at our home early this morning with Nancy and the hospice care nurse Marrissa by her side. Three months and one day ago she had the stroke that ultimately took her life. A great spirit and a wonderful woman who never knew a bad mood, June was a pleasure to be around.
In the early Fall of 2003 I told Nancy that I felt June would die alone in Cleveland and that she seemed to be more depressed as the weather grew worse. We found a new house that gave her a private little wing of her her own and brought her down for a "visit" on a one way ticket. She never went back and The Woodlands became home. Our thoughts were that coming down with us would give her maybe five more years of a great quality of life. She got six and it was truly a blessing for mother and daughter to have this special time together. As the son in law I had no problem growing to love her. There's really no way you couldn't as she was such a positive force. She never quit acting as a grateful guest even though this was her home too.
We're sorry she's gone but happy that the suffering is over. She will always be with us and for that I too am thankful. Thank you June, not only for being you, but for raising a wonderful daughter who I will love and honor for the rest of my life. Besides Nancy she is survived by her brother Bud, Nancy's brother J, and her grandchildren Dannielle and Devin. Bubba
