June never failed to say, "I love you" whenever she left me at the Senior Activity Bldg. and Ithaca Food With Friends. She expressed this love for others daily. May you, her family, feel surrounded with love and caring thoughts today and each day ahead. With sincere sympathy to Bernie and all of June's Loved Ones.

Special thoughts and prayers for your family. History goes a long way back with JUNE and family. Laughter and sad times come to mind as we think back. But now as promised, no more pain or tears.
June was like a grandma to me growing up. She lived across the street from me in Ithaca when I was a child. I remember taking a vacation with my parents and my brother and we took June with us. We stayed at a hotel and upon arriving at our room we wanted to jump on the beds and of course my parents said "no" but June proceeded to get onto the bed and started jumping up and down on it and had my brother and I come up and do it too! That's what hotel beds were made for...jumping on. She was a wonderful caring and loving person. She will be greatly missed by all. Ascend into heaven and take your place beyond those golden gates and live forever in Glory. We love you.
KEVIN : It is a very sad day. I am thinking of you at this time. I want you to know this...YOU ARE NOT ALONE ! We are family. If you ever need to talk, I will always be available. Your mom was very important to us just as our dad was important to you. And we will miss her ! Randy, Rob, and Riley all feel the exact same. I will see you at the viewing. Love you little Bro !

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear June. God has had his many promises recorded for us in the Bible so that we can draw comfort from them during times like this, he understands the pain we feel when we lose someone we love. Let His words comfort you and give you peace. Isaiah 26:19; Revelation 21:3,4; Matthew 5:5; Psalm 37:11,29 All the best wishes for your family at this difficult time.

6/2/2015- Just recently I was told of my favorite Aunt June's passing, sending many prayers and love to her, for I live so far away, No one had informed me, that is why I did not attend her service, I feel terrible, but I know she understands, all I can say is that she was one of the best of the Demski's, Aunt June was very special and when I had the chance I would always protect her, I have to admit that the years have passed so quickly, but now she is in heaven at peace, and I wish that I could have been there at her service, she attended, my grandparents, my mom Rose and my sisters service last July, God came to get his new angel and now she is with the best again, their all probably having a family reunion ,Aunt June you are forever loved, and never forgotten, you are very special to me, you have always been, God bless you, I love you
