I'm Frank Skiles - June and I have two things in common. We are both Okies from Oklahoma - and we both were lucky enough to marry Kansans. The best two that Kansas had to offer, in fact.
June's husband Meade was my best man when I married Darlene MClure - Meade' cousin. Meade married June the year after I married Darlene. June fitted well into the McClure family - I'll brag a little and say that I fit as well into the McClure family, too.
May God take you straight to heaven June with Meade.

Meade was my mom's cousin. We played at their house in Point Richmond when we were children. Meade was a big old guy. He and his wife were very nice. I had the pleasure of chatting with him at my parents 50th wedding anniversary. There's a lot of nice McClure's around. I'm proud to call them family! - Loyd Skiles

My sympathies to June's family. I grew up hearing stories about Mead and June from my my father, Jim McClure and aunt, Darlene McClure Skiles. I pray God grants you comfort during this difficult time.
