Dear Family and Friends,
I just found out about Julie's passing from facebook and I'm so sorry. I knew Julie from Patrick Henry. I remember her always "SMILING". She was always so positive and friendly and loved to laugh. She also was a great runner and loved to run around Lake Murray! I just ran into her again at Wells Fargo in Hillcrest last year. I will chant for her peace and happiness. Much love..

Peggy, Nick, Gary -- You retain a presence in my thoughts. The funeral for Julie was a lovely tribute -- the beautiful eulogy that captured her so well, the inspiring music, the huge turnout of those who loved her. It was difficult to see the shared anguish at Julie's unexpected and unfathomable death. Sometimes, a loss gets harder as the days pass -- shock wears off, the distractions of doing the various necessary activities are completed; and we're left alone with all the thoughts and feelings. Please know that even in those alone times, people who love you are sending thoughts and prayers. If you ever feel the need for a willing ear outside your immediate circle, please think of me.

To Gary, the Botte and Brashear families,

I can't imagine the feeling of loss that you must be going through. I only had the distinct pleasure and honor to know Julie while we worked at Wells Fargo Bank together. I believe that we met way back in 1993 when we worked together at the College Blvd. branch near SDSU.

Julie was always there with a smile; you could never get through a day without seeing that little twinkle in her eye that was accompanied with her smile. Her energy, strength and her bright, sunny disposition warmed my heart. When I ran my own branch, Julie was the first person I knew I had to have working with me.

Of course, over the years we drifted apart but whenever I would see her she still had that twinkle in her eyes along with her great smile.

I can't begin to tell you what the sense of loss I feel and we were only friends. Gary, I am truly sorry for your loss. There are no words that can express my deepest sympathy for you, your children and your families. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.

There is at least one solace you had and no one else had and that was the pleasure of being a husband to Julie for 14 years of marriage, good and bad, for better for worse, in sickness and in health. She left you with two beautiful and, I have no doubt, wonderful children that every day you can look at and see Julie's twinkle in their eyes, along with her smile, her Joie de Vie.

My heart goes out to you; my thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray that Julie is in the arms of our Lord and Savior, in the warm embrace of our Father in Heaven, and that His Holy Spirit will continue to do good things with you and for your young family.

Sincerely, your brother in Christ,

Eric Jay

I knew then how happy I was to have run into you.If I only would have known that that was going to be the last time, I would have hugged you just a little tighter my friend. You were so kind and fun to be around and I knew how much you loved Gary and your beautiful children. This just breaks my heart. May you rest in peace and may God give your beautiful family the strength to carry on. I love you

Dear Ones, there are simply no words to comfort in times like this. I have found comfort in this: I imagine Julie being lovingly held in our Lord's arms, just as his mother lovingly held him in her arms when he was taken down from the cross. Then I imagine that there is a big banquet hall, like when someone gets married and all the family are there sitting at one big table ... Noni and Papa DeTuri, Mr. and Mrs. Botte, my grand parents, Uncle Roy and Aunt Billie, Uncle Tony, and Aunt Lena and Uncle Richard, Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor and Colleen. They all see Julie and they welcome her to take her place at the table with her family in Heaven.

Our hearts are broken. We can't understand why, but we don't get to choose.

With Love and Sympathy,

Gloria Gerak
