Mrs. Taylor taught first grade to my son, Tony. She was a wonderfully kind and generous teacher who inspired her students. God has surely greeted her with arms wide open as she made her journey home. She will be missed but never forgotten as she lives on through her family and her students. With deepest sympathy, The Langone Family
Mrs. Taylor taught first grade to two of my three children at SJS. She was the perfect leader of children that age. She touched many young souls. Prayers for all of her family!
Mrs Taylor was so kind. She always had a kind word and advice for our son, even though he was in the other first grade class. She was a beautiful, kind, and generous soul, who loved teaching, and it showed. I could never thank her enough for her kindness. Mrs Taylor, was truly, a blessing.❤️
We remember June during her time at Bradley when she first met, fell in love and later married my brother(fraternity) Willie. Their love was pure, ever ending and exemplary. Watching them and getting to know them has left life long memories of her kind and gentle spirit. She will be missed and forever loved.
We and Willie are comforted in times of despair that God knows how to love her best.

Willie, I joined your fraternity at Bradley shortly after you and June graduated. Please know that your friends are here for you to lean on for strength, and how much you both are loved. Please accept my condolences.
Sending my thoughts and prayers! I have four boys, none of which had Mrs. Taylor sadly at St. Joseph’s . However I worked with her daily when my older boys were in the school, my eldest in 28, so it was a long time ago! My heart is broken for her loss may she rest in peace and May God comfort her family at this most difficult time. ??❤️ Pam Diganci
Dear family of June: Please accept my sincere condolences. Seeing the death of someone who was born in the same month and year that I was makes me see how fragile life really is. Our loving Heavenly Father is the “God of all comfort” who can help you and all those mourning this loss through this difficult time because “he cares for you”. (1 Peter 5:7)
Dear Willie and William,
We have the very fondest memories of June. She was a very kind and caring person, and was always there to help us and our family when we were raising our seven children . She was our neighbor and our friend, as well as 1st grade teacher for our youngest sons, Joseph and Michael. We feel blessed to have known June. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Willie and William,
June was the caring neighbor who truly had a profound impact on my upbringing. I always enjoyed our conversations, and would leave your home with a positive feeling of gladness in my heart because of her words of wisdom. She believed in me, encouraged me, laughed with me, and prayed with me. I am a better person because she was in my life. God’s love most certainly shined bright in June! I may be heartbroken here on earth, but heaven has truly gained one very special angel. You both are in my thoughts and prayers, and I wish you comfort and strength in the days to come.
Much love, Kelly Mozeyko Nichols
June was a wonderful friend and neighbor for 26 years. She always had a warm smile and a caring heart. It is no doubt she touched the lives of many people, especially ours. We will miss her very much but we know God has plans for her. Willie and Will: We wish you peace to soothe you, grace to hold you, and love to comfort you in the days ahead. With love & prayers, Tom & Ellie
Mrs. Taylor taught first grade to our son. She was truly a kind and generous teacher who loved and inspired her students. My heart is broken when heard her passing. She is gone too soon! She will be missed greatly, but never forgotten, because her teachings forever stay in her student’s minds and hearts. May she rest in peace and May God comfort her family at this most difficult time. With deepest sympathy, The Quaile Family.
God’s Grace is eternal. My condolences and prayers to family & friends.

To the Taylor family, may you find comfort and strength in the Lord as you will forever treasure June’s memory.
Willie, for 16 years you share so many warm and wonderful stories of your wife June, that I felt like I knew her personal, so by time I actually met June, I was so over joyed. Willie, my heart goes out to you and your son William and your family. Please expect my heartfelt condolences
Hi Willie I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. I will keep you and your son in my prayers because we know that God does not make mistakes. I thank God that I had a chance to meet her in person. Continue to trust God and he will keep you in perfect peace.
Mrs. Taylor was my son’s James first grade teacher at St. Joseph School. She was a superb and an inspiring teacher who touched not only my son’s heart, but ours as well. We are deeply saddened to learn that she has joined our Creator. Please accept our sympathies and condolences-she will never be forgotten. May she Rest In Peace.
I’m so sorry for your recent loss. My deepest condolences to your family. Death of a loved one is never easy to endure, but you don’t have to go through it alone. You can always find comfort in our God of tender mercy Jehovah, as found at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.
