Dear Mark and Jonathan,
It was an honor to have known Julia your wife and mother, personally and professionally. I was able to work with her at Virginia State Police and found out later your family relationship with Mr. Baxter and Stella Perkinson. Julia is an angel that will be missed on this earth. She now resides with Stella in heaven. I pray your days ahead will be filled with precious memories. Praying as you both release your angel back to God.

Mark & family:
Julia was such a beautiful woman in so many ways. We KNOW the road that lays ahead will be difficult without her on earth in your lives. But praise God that she is now in HIS prescence and may that give you the peace you need right now as you travel this road of grief.
