Julie, I can't believe it has been nine years since you left for heaven. Words cannot say how greatly you are missed. I miss your beautiful smile, the late night calls, your wonderful advise, and your awesome stories. I miss you the most at the family get-togethers, you were always the most fun, the one who would light up the room! Love you and miss you!

Julie, There hasn't been a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Some days, my heart hurts so bad. There are so many things that I want to share with you. My children are growing up so fast. My grandchildren would've loved their great Auntie Julie. To me, you will always be the sweetest, kindest, most gentle person that I will ever have had the privilege of knowing. You were one in a million and irreplaceable. I love you and miss you terribly. ~janeen

Julie (the best aunt a person could ever ask for),
Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. You were, and always will be, my best friend, and the big sister that I never had. I love you and miss you very much.

I met Julie on one occasion when she came to Gilbrt Az. and surprised her parents who were visiting our neighbors. I thought it was special that she would go on vacation with her folks and have it a surprise. That just shows what a close family they were. I feel bad that her folks came after her death and I didn't know what to say to them because they are the greatest,

Janeen, my thoughts are with you and your family. Just as she was a blessing to each of you, Julie could not have asked for a more loving and caring family.

Julie: Although I did not know you very long, I always enjoyed visiting with you in the Skyway. I truly wish we would have made that luncheon date we always talked about. I will miss seeing you at Jon and Lisa's. I know that you will watch over your family and take care of them. You are loved and missed. Sylvia

Julie was my beautiful cousin. I always admired her from a far and I had so much fun growing up with her. I really miss her and have her picture on my desk to remind me to enjoy each day as if it is your last, that life is VERY precious. I love and miss you Julie. I pray for your immediate family. Love, your cousin, Lisa.

Julie will dearly be missed on this earth. I did not know her personally but feel that I did. When I met Janeen over 10 years ago, we would often talk about what Julie was up to. I knew that she loved her sister very much. She would tell me everything Julie was doing and how fun it was to watch her grow up. Janeen is very proud of her baby sister. My prayers are with you Janeen.

Though I never met Julie face to face, she was a person who could so easily bring a smile to those around her. I worked with Julie at McLeod. There was never a negative word from Julie. Always such a beautiful outlook on life and on everything in general. I am sorry that I never got to meet Julie face to face. She was an angel that God lent to us all for too short a time. But he has a much better place for her prepared with him. I will miss hearing your sweet voice on the phone, Julie. You truly will be missed. My condolences to all of Julie's family and friends.

Julie,
You have been so missed by so many at our office. I have thought of you daily and cannot think how a day may go by where that will not hold true. We learned a lot from you
Julie. We have so much to thank you for. I will never forget hearing your mom point in the sky at the only cloud on your day. It was an angel. Your mom was astounded and overwhelmed by this sign. I must admit, I was too. It taught me that there is still much one can learn from you. It will just mean we need to stay in touch with your mom. As you know, i love to be taught. I will be in touch with her very soon.

My beautiful angel, oh how I miss you! You made me smile every day, I can't fathom life without you. You touched so many with your love, your caring, your giving spirit. So many people considered you special, so many tears are being shed for you this week. I will miss so much the laughter and friendship we shared, how we helped each other through life every day. My baby, I love you so much. You are part of me forever.

Julie, I don't think words can ever express the love I have for you. There will forever be a special place in my heart, no one could ever take your place. From the time you were born, you brought a special sunshine into our lives. Every person that met you, immediately fell in love with you. Your grace, love, tenderness, kindness of heart, everything that made you what you are has been a blessing to us. I will never, ever forget what a wonderful, loving and thoughtful sister you are. My children are so fortunate to have had you in their lives. You are the bestest aunt any kid could ever have. I will miss you terribly. I know you have a special place in heaven. You truly are and always will be our angel. I love you, Julie. Your big, little sis - Janeen

Julie Jo was the best aunt anyone could ever ask for. . .and was loved by anyone and everyone who entered her life. Her smiling face and loving personality will never be forgotten! I am thankful that I will never have to say good-bye to her thiough. She now has the chance to be with me and watch over me and to experience my trials and tribulations, for she is within me and will always be in my heart. She is my guardian angel watching over me. I love you sweetie.

Although I only worked with Julie for a short time at McLeod, her saying, "Cool Beans" has stayed with me and has become an everyday phrase with my new co-workers. Julie is remembered everyday for her light-heartedness and smile that would like up the darkest day.
I wish for Peace and Comfort to Julie's family and anyone who was Blessed by knowing her.
