It was an extreme pleasure to teach in the same grade level as Julie! She was an inspiration to teachers, as well as the students. She was our leader in our class organization and was always the first to share humorous or motivational stories after school. She was a true professional and a very dear friend, who will not be forgotten.

My condolences to the family of a wonderful woman. I was one of her students at Clinton Young Elementary. She taught us and inspired us I will always remember her as the intelligent elegant beautiful statuesque blond angelic teacher who encouraged girls to prepare and focus on studies and future career. She touched so many.
