Not sure what to say?

I just want you to know how much Julia has meant to so many of us. Her strength, her vision, and her love of life have encouraged us to be our best and appreciate the best in others. Through the beauty and power of her art, she has given us all a gift that we will treasure throughout our lives. What I'll remember best about her is her down to earth sensibility, combined with wit and charm and a joy in adventure. It was a blessing to know her. We'll all miss her.
