Wally, Julia will certainly be missed. As secretary at Meadowcreek, I was priviledged to watch Julia's loving dedication to all her children. I felt blessed to call her friend. My prayers are with you and your family for the coming days. She was devoted to you, Wally, and it was a beautiful thing to witness. Pat Clement

Julia worked with me at Walton. I was a Kindergarten teacher while she was in Second Grade. We visited with each other often in the mornings. She was a very good friend to everyone, and she will be missed.

Julia taught Second Grade at M.M. Walton just two doors down from me. She was a very devoted teacher, and marvelous friend to me. She will truly be missed as a very special lady.

My son had Mrs. Sarbough in second grade at Meadowcreek Elementary. She helped him so much. He was very shy and she helped him come out of that shell. She was one of his favorite all time teachers. Thank you for sharing her with our family.
