AUGUST 2016
arranged for parents to spend more time with their children. She
felt desperately for those unfortunates whose mothers were
unable to visit regularly and devised a scheme called ADOPT A
GRANNIE. She asked recently retired women to visit one child
regularly.
When Junes mother died she moved back home to look after
her Dad but didnt waste a moment to bring across to the
authorities and the general public the need to transform
childrens nursing. Her father woke up at 8 a.m. so June spent
6am 8 am writing THE OTHER SIDE OF PAEDIATRICS; A
GUIDE TO THE EVERDAY CARE OF SICK CHILDREN. After
her fathers death she was back in the wards.
Towards the end of her life she unfortunately spent many
years in a wheel-chair and on the occasions when I phoned her
was always positive and grateful for the help she received from
friends. To sum up: June was a wonderful Christian. She was not
one who withdrew from the contaminations of this wicked world
but immersed herself in it bringing healing and practical help to
children and their parents.

them. Ive had to learn to rely on others for help, which I found
(and still do) very difficult to do, always having been an
independent person. We only have to open our hearts and our
eyes to all the blessings and love that our Heavenly Father
bestows upon us on a daily basis and all troubles, fear and pain
just become little bumps in the road.
A REAL PAIN
A clergyman was standing in for a vicar who was ill. The
parish was in a rough part of town
and most of the church windows had
been broken and were boarded up
with cardboard.
On his last Sunday he said to
the congregation, "I have enjoyed
being with you, but of course I am
not your vicar; rather like those
pieces of cardboard in your windows
they're not real panes, they are a
substitute, and I have been a
substitute."
At the end of the service the church
warden thanked him for helping and said, "We want you to know
sir that to us you have not been a substitute, you have been a
real 'pane'."

the knife cuts in the top crust. She was making her world beautiful. She was making her world
delicious. It could be done, and if anyone could do it, she could.
J.J. Brown, Death and the Dream
Baking and love go hand in hand, for as one bakes a tasty treat and fills the room with its sweet
aroma, the true joy is to take what has been made and share it with another.

I always say a little prayer when I put cakes in the oven, remarked Eve, as she
stopped to kiss Rose good-bye.
