Aunt Julia was a wonderful and supportive aunt, caring sister to my mother (Golda) and her other sisters, and the funniest member of the Corn family. I loved her humor and always appreciated her laughter - it was so contagious. She was a great cook and so creative in her food improvisations. For all of these reasons and more, I cherish my memories of Aunt Julia - she was truly special.
