GIVE A GIFT OF $20 OR MORE,
YOU'LL GET A FREE CHRISTMAS
TREE ORNAMENT AS A THANK YOU
FROM WCCO AND HOME FURNITURE.
A LOT OF US HAVE CHRISTMAS
TREES THAT REMIND US OF ALL
KINDS OF THINGS, ESPECIALLY A
MEMORY OR A MOMENT.
AND THESE ORNAMENTS WERE
MADE BY THEIR MOTHER JUNE WHO
PASSED AWAY LAST NIGHT.
SHE HAD A DRYNESS ABOUT HER,
AND IT CAME THROUGH SOME OF HER
WORK.
SHE WAS A CRAFT MAKER AND
JUNE LOVED THE HOLIDAYS.
SHE DEVELOPED A REPUTATION FOR
HER DISTINCTIVE CHRISTMAS
ORNAMENTS.
JUNE SPEISER WAS A BUSY
WOMAN.
SHE RAISED SIX CHILDREN.
WHENEVER SHE COULD, SHE CREATED
ART.
A LOT OF THESE ARE MY MOM'S
DESIGNS, SHE DESIGNED THE
PATTERN AND DID THE WORK OF IT
AS WELL.
SHE'S VERY ARTISTIC AND
CREATIVE.
NOW, MORE THAN EVER, JUNE'S
DAUGHTERS, NINA AND ROXANNE ARE
IN YOU A OF THE UNIQUE
DONATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS TREE.
SHE GAVE THEM AWAY TO FAMILY
AND FRIENDS.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES IS THE
ROBIN ON THE TREE AND THE CAP
AND THE SCARF, THERE WAS
ACCEPTS OF HUMOR TO IT TOO, SHE
HAD A REAL DRY SENSE OF HUMOR
AND SOMETIMES THAT CAME THROUGH
IN SOME OF HER WORK.
JUNE LOVED NATURE AND WOULD
INCORPORATE ITS BEAUTY INTO HER
CREATIONS, AFTER RAISING HER
KIDS AND TRAVELING THE COUNTRY,
JUNE DECIDED TO FULFILL A
DREAM.
WHEN SHE WAS IN HER 50s, SHE
ENROLLED IN COLLEGE AND EARNED
A DEGREE IN ART.
SHE HAD THE COMPLIMENTS OF
FAMILY AND FRIENDS, TO BE
RECOGNIZED IN A ACADEMIC AND
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, I
THINK THAT WAS SPECIAL, A
CHERRY ON THE TOP TO HER.
JUNE'S DAUGHTER SAY THEY
ADMIRE THEIR MOM'S APPROACH TO
LIFE.
SHE WAS VERY ADVENTUROUS,
SHE TAUGHT US TO BE ADVENTUROUS
AND EXPLORE THE WORLD AROUND US
AND FIND BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING.
I'LL CARRY HER WITH ME THE REST
OF MY LIFE.
SHE'S AN AMAZING PERSON.

JUNE SPEISER WAS 79 YEARS
OLD WHEN SHE DIED LAST MONTH.
