Curtis and family, This is so hard for me to do;but I had to let you know that I am sorry for your loss. I will miss her infectious smile and personality. The 4th of July will not be the same for me; our standing date. Now that little fire cracker is in heaven sparkleing with the angels. Love Ya,

Mr. and Mrs. Rizza, Curt and family, I am sorry for your loss. Julie happened to be on my mind today and I googled her and heard of the news. I'm in disbelief. Although it has been many years since I've been in contact with Julie, her memories have always resided in me and still will. I've never met anyone quite like Julie and I know I never will. She was that special. She spoke highly of her family and that was something I admired. She is a wonderous spirit and we will miss her dearly. It is no wonder to me why I've been feeling this sense of vacancy that prompted me to google Julie.

Respectfully,
Todd

I was visiting my mother's grave at King's Highway this afternoon. I saw an older gentleman visiting Julie's grave, possibly her father. He was so obviously in mourning. I wanted to express my condolences at the time but didn't want to intrude. I am deeply touched by your loss. Please know how much I care and understand. You are in my prayers. - The Woman with the Dog
