Not sure what to say?

For the last several years I have tried to find my sweet funny friend on line with no luck. Today I was thinking of her and tried a search with no real results… but I noticed an obituary and I thought no, it's not possible. As I began reading the names of the family members the reality struck me. I am so so very sorry for your loss and so very sorry I was never able to connect with her. Julie was my best all through middle school which is a really important time in a girl's life to have a...

Hello Jules,
I wanted to add a little note to your book. We all plan on meeting up at the spot you choose at Ellen's real soon. Ellen is doing a super job as our family custodian and Patty and Anna miss you very much along with all your family. You are with us forever in our heart until we all reunite.

Julia had such a beautiful heart and an even more beautiful smile. I learned so much from her during the short time we knew each other. I hope she knows what an inspiration she was to me, she lived everyday to its fullest and she always kept her head up, I admired her strength. I will always hold you in my heart you were such a wonderful friend. Good Bye, for now.

Ever since I first laid eyes on Julie as a baby my love was complete. I always tried to be the next best thing to a mother to her after we lost ours. Her loss for me is beyond words I miss her so much. Her free spirit will always inspire me and live in my heart. She loved my daughter Antonina more than anything and always told me I was a great mother. I feel her spirit with me everyday. Good Bye my sweet baby sister. I love you always.

Julie, I remember when we would sit in your bed and watch shows on Oxygen and we would laugh until the next morning. I remember dancing all day. You were the best thing that ever happened to me and now that you are gone, I will speak up to the sky and know you are listening. You will always live on in my heart.

Remembering our Jules:
Neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revellation 21.4

Why should we grieve for those who pass away,
To walk unfettered in that Land of Day,
United with the friends of yesterday?
Why should we grieve?
Eye hath not seen the joys they now possess,
Ear hath not heard the songs of happiness,
A place prepared-that Summer Land of rest-
We must not grieve.
Thorns in the flesh...

I have such wonderful memories of visiting you in America, going horse-riding and enjoying a fancy restaurant. Auntie Kath thought the world of you, you were both fun-loving and affectionate people. Your smile will always be with me. Love to all the family.

Dear Julie,
I remember you as a little girl in Australia. You were so happy within your family and with the little dog my Mother gave you.
I remember the lovely home-made cakes your Mum used to make - it seemed like every day. And how happy your home was when we visited - just up from the beach at Mona Vale. I envied your "American" style and your orange juice.
Things changed for you when you got back to America after the sad and irreplaceable loss of your Mother, and I hope...

Julia, I remember sitting at the lady beetle table with you ,Patty and Ellen when we were young tasting for the first time peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, they were very happy days. Although life was not always easy for you I wish you peace for your soul.
Love Angela
