I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Julia's passing. I was just online doing some family tree research and found this obituary. I didn't hear the news. I'm very sorry. I remember Aunt Julia as a really sweet person, and everyone in the family really cherished her. I am attaching some photos of when she visited my house for my son's christening with Aunt Helen in 2002.
God bless!
