To the Betterly family,My sincere sympathies on the passing of your mom, she was one great lady. I can remember my mom, my brother’s family ordering several cakes over the years, she made the best cakes. Remember the good times you shared over the years. God Bless you all.
RIP Miss June! A kind & caring person and a great cake baker ? June made many birthday cakes for our children through the years in Honeoye and always with a smile. The world lost one of the good ones when she passed!
June was a really wonderful lady…she will be missed by all that knew her.
Sorry for your loss. I have great memories of mornings before school with your mom and dad!
Cheri, Jesse and Kiana,I am sending my love and hugs to you all! Bask in the memories you have, share with all the family! May all of you find peace at this time!
Grandma June,
You were one of the most caring, loving and thoughtful woman. Though we were thousands of miles away, you always kept in touch. Whether a letter or a phone call, you were always there. That meant more to us then you’ll ever know. You were Camree’s only grandmother on her dad’s side that she loved, adored and spoke to regularly. She was always so excited to see your letter in the mailbox or to get your phone call on a Sunday morning. Gary always bragged about his grandma June and now I know why!
He’s waiting for your arrival June.
You will always be remembered in our heart OXOX
Rest in peace. We will miss you tremendously,
Kim & Camree Hamilton
