June continued to assist me with my loss adjusting career , whilst simultaneously running our homes in Stixwould and Cleethorpes , prior to our moving permanently to Cleethorpes . June faced many painful challenges to her health, which a lesser person may not have overcome, with good grace, courage and fortitude. She finally succumbed to secondary illnesses following the cancer ,which she had so bravely fought for fourteen years. We were married for forty years and no one could ever replace my darling wife, who loved and was proud of , her county and country . She loved me and is now safely in the arms of Jesus in heaven, with all who loved her and all those she loved and where the world cannot hurt her.
