Thread Name: Obit: June Carter Cash (1929-2003)
Subject: RE: Obit: JUNE CARTER CASH
My prayers are for June's soul and the family.   The Carter family book was 50% about Maybelle and how she raised the girls. I have great admiration for them all. John would not likely have been alive to marry June if Maybelle had not taken care of him - she must have seen some goodness in him even then. I also heard Randy Scruggs say once that he learned to play the guitar when Maybelle babysat for him. I think June and the girls got a strong dose of responsibility from Maybelle that helped them all through their lives. June and Johnny can be heard on the Circle III album with John's great song about Sara and Maybelle.
I have the greatest respect for the Carter's, and not just for the music. I hope they are remembered for who they were and not just what they sang.
