SKELLIE AND SMITLEY FAMILY, MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY AT YOUR GREAT LOSS OF JULIE,,MAY GOD BLESS YOU AT THIS TIME AND HELP YOU GET THROUGH THIS TOUGH TIME SINCERELY EDDIE WERHNER (spring hill florida)

I knew Julie only for the past 15 years, but she made an impression on me. Her sense of humor and throaty laugh could lift anyone out of the doldrums. I appreciated her attitude of acceptance of anyone she came across and her fierce loyalty to her family. My thoughts and prayers are with Matt (whom I never had the opportunity to meet) and Gussy, her mother Barbara. sister Sheila, brother Jay; and the rest of her family whom I have not met, but feel I know because of her. All her pain is gone now, but her memory lingers on!

With many fond remembrances,

Barbara McLain;
The Law Office of David J. Kurland

Our deepest Sympathy for the loss of your beloved Julie,

The loss of a loved one is a devastating blow. Yet, we are always reminded by our hearts – how lucky we have been to know those that we have loved .
,
God saw her getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around Julie and whispered "come with me".
Although you were loved so dearly, you could not stay. A golden heart stopped beating, God only takes the BEST.

Our deepest condolences for you loss, Uncle Steve Aunt Joan
