Arch, My heart is so heavy right now. I know you and June were crazy in love, and it showed! We've never met in person, but we've had some great times in the Humor section just being silly, and you included her in many of your posts. It always made me smile! Praying that you find peace and comfort, and know that your steel guitar family is here for you. Donna and Tommy

Arch,
I am so sorry to hear that you lost June. I have never met either of you, but your emails made it seem as though we knew her.

Sorry for your loss Archie, you spoke of June often. Although i've never met her, i could tell by our conversations you both cared for each other deeply. And i just know she was a special person.

I can't find any words that haven't already been said to bring you any comfort in your untimely loss. She will always be inside you as long as you live. We don't get over our losses, we just come to accept them. The greatest sadness in life is that our loved ones disappear, and every time we want to show them something or tell them something they're no longer there to consult.
