June’s piano playing certainly made the rafters ring and what a blessing it was to hear her play. We had great fellowship with her and all the Barker family at Albion Hills Bible Church. She was a strong Christian presence in all she did and her love of Jesus and family was always part of her conversation.

We look forward to that great meeting in the sky with June and Ross and all the others who have gone before us. God bless you all and keep you all in His hand.

Condolence from John and Barbara Burton on October 15th, 2022 9:57 pm

We have lost a dear friend, and along with Ross, things will not be the same without them.
However, we rejoice that we will all meet again in the Lord’s perfect timing.
Our condolences to their family.

Peter, Lori, and Philip:

Lorraine and I wish to send to you our deepest condolences in the passing of our “Aunt June,” your mom. We have lots of memories of childrens’ plays and musicals, as well as her gifted and beautiful choir leading and piano playing. We wish you great comfort your knowledge of her faith in Jesus Christ, and in the hope of the resurrection. Unfortunately, we are not able to attend the funeral service, and we trust that it will be a time of comfort to one another, stories her life, and encouragement found in Christ and the Scriptures. Grace and peace to you and your families. David and Lorraine.

Condolence from Andrew on October 16th, 2022 9:57 pm

To cousins Peter, Lori, Philip and your families. Our thoughts flood your way as you honour your mom. So many wonderful memories. When I was about ten years old Aunt June pulled together a ragtag gaggle of boys and formed us into a choir. Then she decided to enter us into a music festival. We were the only entrant in that division. However we would not be awarded first place unless the adjudicator gave us a score of at least 80 percent. Aunt June was determined for us to make the grade. We were awarded an 82. With her amazing musical talent she was a special gift to you as a family and to us as a church family.

Condolence from Steve and Lori Arthur on October 16th, 2022 11:03 pm

Steve and I sent our condolences to all the Barker family at this sad time.

Once again I am saddened by the loss of a family member. It was comforting to know that she/they were praying for
us. She will never be forgotten as she has passed away on my birthday. Ross passed away on Dawn’s birthday.
They both will be forever in our hearts. Peter, Lori, Phillip and family our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence from Carolyn Johnston Cestnick on October 17th, 2022 11:01 am

It seems like yesterday I Celebrating Ross’s life with all of you.

Now June is being hugged by our precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I can see her smiling- like only “Auntie June” could smile when Jesus tenderly reached out to her and said” Well done my good and faithful servant. …Now go play the piano …”

These precious saint who have served Jesus so faithfully as an example gor me to lead my family.

We love each of you – please stay in our lives even if mom and dad are gone!

Love Carolyn & Tim Cestnick
(Carolyn Johnston)

I’m watching the service from Athens Greece
