Julie was a wonderful friend for almost 50 years. She was a natural caregiver, compassionate nurse, caring mother, wife and friend. We had wonderful times from our early days in Kettering and visits with she and Frank to Louisiana and Florida. We loved this beautiful person.

Judy was an inspiration to so many people. We were sounding boards for each other, and laughingly solved the world's problems over lunches. I will miss the craziness we enjoyed so much.
