My Grandmother Julia was a strong woman with a lot of good in her heart. She had 5 children and without her I wouldn't have the family I do have. I'm forever grateful for being a part of this family and having her in my life to teach and to love. I know she is in a better place now. My thoughts and prayers are with you Julia!

Julia was a great Mother and Grandmother she loved all of her loved ones and we all loved her. We will miss her dearly, she may be gone now but will always be in our hearts. Through out my life my Grandmother was always someone I looked up to she showed me great things like scary movies, how to love life and she always spoiled my cousins and I. I love my Grandma forever and always she will never leave my mind or heart and I know she is in a better place now!
