Dear Perry/Garman Families,
I just learned of Julie's passing today. Needless to say, I was absolutely shocked. Julie and I were great friends during our years at Big Spring. I have fond memories of our daily lunches throughout our senior year. I have thought of Julie fondly over the years! I will keep you all in my prayers as you go through this difficult time.

Dear Perry Family,
I morn Julie’s passing but rejoice in the memories of having served with her in Collins Hall. I remember her as a kind, sweet-dispositioned Christian lady who brought joy into all our lives as she diligently kept us out of trouble.
As the prophet Isaiah wrote so long ago, “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
We are all better for having known Julie. May God comfort and sustain you. Your brother in Christ, Russ Olson.

Our hearts and prayers continue to go out to the Perry Family. Julie was an inspiration from a distance when I had my own physical problems, seeing how her dedication to the job at work and at home was balance with a smile on her face. Everyone knows that everyday cannot be a joyous occasion but I’m thankful to have shared laughs and experiences with her for the last three years.
How you can show support

Dear Garman and Perry families,
I didn't hear of Julie's passing until last night. I will miss her smiles. She brought grace and dignity to all she did. I will always remember how we laughed together at my pitiful excuse for an ashtray in 8th grade shop class and the many conversations we shared. I know these past few years have been very hard on her and I trust that our Lord has prepared a special place for her in Heaven free of the pain she has had to endure over the years. Julie, I will miss you. I will look for you in Heaven. Eric

Dear Garman & Perry Family,
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Julie. I will always remember the fun times we had as kids growing up in the same neighborhood. Julie always had a smile on her face and kind words to say. She will be sadly missed by all. My thoughts & prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

To the Perry Family,
We were very sorry to learn of Julie's untimely passing. You have our deepest sympathies.
I worked with Julie at the Army War College, Center for Strategic Leadership. I have a special place in my heart for Julie. Julie and I had many discussions concerning the challenges she faced in life. Julie knew that my sister Judy had succumbed to the same challenges when she was only 42 years of age. What Julie didn’t know was how similar she was to my Sister. They were not only nearly identical in the challenges they faced, but they were nearly identical in the way they handled them.
Over the years, I learned much from Julie, and one of the most important things I learned from her was how to live life during its most difficult times. Julie was a very trustworthy, respectful, responsible, fair, and caring individual. She continuously demonstrated these highly valued character traits, regardless of how she felt physically on any given day! I know Julie smiled and did the right thing many many times, when it would have been so much easier for her to do otherwise. It is what made her a very special lady.
Julie lived life with dignity and is deserving of great praise for the way she handled her challenges! We are all better individuals as a result of our relationship with Julie. She has left us with a great example of how to live life, and has left us with something to strive for in the days we have left on this earth. God bless you! We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

Dale, Nick & Julie’s entire family:
I worked with Julie here in CSL for many years. She always spoke with so much love when she spoke of her family. Nick, your Mom was especially proud of you. She wanted you to succeed in everything that you do in life. I have always admired her strength and courage. She never complained and always had a smile and a friendly greeting every time I walked by her desk. People wanted to be near her because of her positive attitude. She has made such an impression on so many people. She will be missed! My sincere sympathies and prayers go to all of you during this most difficult time.

She has brought joy and friendship to many and will be remembered fondly. May God Bless you and keep you safe.

Dale, Nick and Garman Family,
Julie touched my heart like you will never know. I worked with Julie when we worked at The Army Physical Fitness Research Institute at the War College many years ago. Nick, I remember your Mom carrying you inside her, and I remember the first time I saw you (so little). Julie would remember my family every Christmas with Hershey Chocolate. She kept in touch with me, both times I had to go through chemo. So caring she was. She was a very special lady, who had a lot of challenges in her life, but she never complained about it. Julie and I use to go out to lunch on our paydays. We said we were celebrating our 'wealth' and then we would both laugh because we knew that most of that paycheck would be gone when we do the bills that night. I will always remember her and the courage she always showed. I know that she loved Dale and Nick more than anything. I will miss her so. She always said that she would come visit me one day out here on CO. I wish she was able too. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.

To the Perry and Garman families,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I met Julie almost 10 years ago during a visit to the Center for Srategic Leadership when I was introduced to her by my cousin Michael Pasquarett.
That day I discovered that everything he had been telling me about her was true. Her warm smile, sparkling blue eyes, wonderful optimistic nature, obvious professionalism, her determination and courage, and her support for everyone she worked with was readily apparent from the first hello. Since then, whenever I've been in the area I have always looked forward to a visit to CSL to see Julie.
When I last spoke to her on the phone in early January I asked her how she was doing. She, as usual, replied that she was 'just great' then immediately asked how I was doing. It was that ability , despite any problems she may have been experiencing, to express genuine care and concern for others that endeared her to so many. She was a lovely person who touched many lives and hearts, and will be dearly missed.

The Perry and Garman Families,
I cannot put into words and will not even try to tell you how much we will miss your Julie. I know that she was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter and sister and here at work she was a truly fabulous person that we all loved and admired. She was the one that everyone relied on to have all the answers to whatever challenges we faced here at the office and in our travels. I alone probably called her everyday and she always had the answers to help me to be more efficient and effective and I am just one of many. She was always so pleasant, so kind and just plain nice to everyone. Julie was so special that I know in my lifetime I will never know anyone as good.

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Julie since my assignment at Carlisle Barracks in October 1993. Since 1997 when I retired from there, I have moved on, but still live in Waynesboro. My sincerest sympathy goes out to you. Julie will be sorely missed.

Dear Dale and Nick:
I met Julie when I was assigned to the war College in 1988. She was one of the first persons I met. A bright smile and helpful attitude greeted me. That same wonderfully, positive person was at the CSL when I visited over the past several years. My most vivid memory of Julie is during one of the CSL golf tournaments when she and Nick drove the refreshment wagon around the course! A neat thing to do together. Know that you all and Julie are in our prayers and thoughts.

Dear Dale and Nick,
It's difficult to express our sense of loss adequately or appropriately. We are so grateful for having been able to know Julie and call her friend. She was an incredibly gracious lady. Her health struggles were scarcely noticed by most because she never complained – ever.
Those of us that remain in this world feel a great sense of loss, but we can be comforted somewhat in that there is another Saint in Heaven to intercede for us in prayer as we all continue our struggles here.

Julie, God Rest Her Soul, always had a pleasant smile to greet everyone in the morning and an equally pleasant greeting. She would always help any of us with the sometimes nettlesome administrative details of life at CSL. There were not that many but she would always help no matter how busy she was. She was a pleasure to know and work with and she will always be a part of CSL and those who knew and worked with her. We will all miss her.
She is at peace and not suffering and we and her family all grieve at the loss of a truly special lady. All of us prayed during her most recent illness and will contine to pray for her and her fanmily.

Dale, Nick, and the Garman family,
You are in our prayers during this time of sorrow. We give thanks to God for the many blessings that Julie has bestowed upon each of us over the years here at the Army War College. Julie’s primary blessing to us was one of diligence. She was always ready to assist anyone with a task at hand. She blessed us with her positive attitude in the office which was exceptional – she was never down no matter what her personal burdens were or the workload confronting us all. She blessed us with her optimism which was infectious throughout the office. Julie is one of those special people whom it was an honor to have known and worked with. Julie was a friend to all. Be assured, she will be profoundly missed. We share in your grief and offer our humble condolences during this difficult time. God Bless you,

Words cannot express our heartfelt sorrow at the loss of Julie. She made everyone feel special when, in truth, she was the one who was so very special. Her smile, her humility, her competence, her dedication, her cheerfulness and willingness to help were always there. We have lost a very dear friend who will live in our hearts forever. We are thankful for having being able to have known her and for having been blessed by her graciousness.

Dale and Nick,
There are no words that can replace Julie in your lives or in ours here at the Center for Strategic Leadership. But know that every day she was with us was a blessing for us, and that she is remembered with love and joy for the love and joy that she spread while she was among us. May God Bless you both, and may you know the comfort of His presence now and forever.

Dear Dale and Nicholas,

Dear Dale, Nick and Garman Family: My sincere sympathies to you all in this very difficult time of great loss. I knew Julie for years growing up in Big Spring but also had the blessing to work with her at CSL for two years. She was loved and respected by all she ever worked with… a great testimony to how wonderful a person she was and will continue to be in our fond memories. Her smile and positive attitude was infectious in spite of her many health challenges. She taught us all the true meaning of living and loving every day as the blessing God gives to us all. Even after I deployed to Kuwait for a year, Julie continued to keep me up on life at CSL and I looked forward to her inspirational emails. She would always add that she was praying for my brother and I who were in the Middle East. I will truly miss her but know she is looking down from above and watching over her family and loved ones. May God bless and comfort you all.

Dear Dale, Nick, and the Garman family,
Thanks for sharing Julie with her War College family over the past 22 years and particularly during her time at the Center for Strategic Leadership. Julie was first and foremost our friend; but she had this amazing ability to balance that friendship while remaining the consummate professional. Her smile brightened our days. Her optimism made us reflect upon the true value of life and what is really important. That smile and positive approach to life will forever remain her legacy to us. In short, she was special. We will miss her deeply and always, but we also take comfort in the fact that she looks down upon us today in God's loving care; for if ever there was a saint in God's kingdom, it's Julie.

Dear Dale and Nick, You both are in our prayers in this time of sorrow. I been blessed in so many ways and years with the memories of Julie and the family. I don't think I have ever met someone with such a positive attitude as she had all the time. She will be truly missed by me. Stay strong and keep the faith. I pray each day that goes by that God will make your heavy hearts alittle lighter. God Bless you both

Dear Dale & Nick,
I worked with Julie at the Operations & Gaming Division and since December, I have been on an assignment at Fort Bragg, NC through the Army Reserve. I was stunned at the news. Our Faith teaches us that Julie has gone to be One with the Lord. She can now be our personal saint.
