February 1, 2019 at 5:16 pmI was so sorry to read of June’s passing. Whenever I am driving through Bronxville, I always think of my Uncle Norm and June and picture them holding hands walking along Pondfield together. They had a wonderful life, and as Norm said to me the last time I spoke with him, “my life with June was paradise!” There’s was truly a beautiful love story. It’s hard to think that they are both gone now; however, I’m sure they are happy together again. Sending love and prayers from the entire Cottrell/Shaw family.
