'Abel: I am just now reading the obituary for your lovely wife, June. As you know, we met her at Aunt Mary Vela's funeral. Mary Vela was our first grade teacher. Few people remember, as I do, of the fact that Abel Velasquez is a legend in Port Lavaca. Abel's accomplishments as an athlete are still unsurpassed in the history of Port Lavaca High School. We extend our sincerest condolences on the loss of June and hope that the memories and reflections of her sustain you in this time of grief. Larry Garcia, Ph.D., Class of '55, Port Lavaca High School'

'Abel we are so sorry for your loss but truly blessed to have known June. Her love for you truly shined through. Keeping you in our prayers.'

'I only knew precious June a short while but I will always remember her sweet smile and the adoration she had when she looked at Abel. What a treasure! I miss seeing that smile as it lit up the room. My heart hurts with you. Tess Stiner'

'Our love and sympathy go to your grieving heart, Able!
We enjoyed June always being so pleasant and had that 
Contagious smile! 
You were so devoted and faithful to visiting her when she was ill.
She was fun and love joking...we'll miss that a lot!
Please know that we will be praying for you!
Our love to you in Christ,
Betsy and Tom Stolhandske. XOXOXO'

'I will particularly miss June at Club 12 and the birthday's we celebrated together. She was a good friend as well as you Abel. We are all sad to see her go!'

'Dear Abel, our family is so sorry for the loss of your precious June and sends our deepest sympathy. June will be dearly missed. We loved seeing you at the AHHS Varsity Football game last week and giving you a hug. We will be praying for you in the days to come. Love, Bill, Amy, Josh (#73) and Ashley Goforth'

'We will miss you sweet June! We were blessed to know you!'

'Please know how sorry we are, Abel, for the loss of your ever present and beloved June. We will all remember the sweet and beautiful smile she wore while seated next to you at all of those AHHS games you two attended. Volleyball, baseball, football -- whatever the sport, you were there. Thank you for supporting our kids for so many years at so many home and away games. You have given the Alamo Heights families a gift we will always cherish. Please know you are loved. Rest knowing you were an extraordinary companion and caregiver to June and that she's now in God's loving arms. Thank you, June, and thank you, Abel. 
The Kelleher Family
Lisa, Mike, Clara, Caroline and Michael'
