Julia Marie Ritchie

I still think of Julia so often. I was lucky enough to count her as one of my closest friends. My beloved Dana Harvey, who went to be with our Father in Heaven in August of 2005 and I shared so many good times with Julia riding horses, traveling and just being together. I so admired Julia for her strength, courage and drive but most of all her kindness. She will always be in my heart.

Our 1 year that you are not on earth with us.,sis I just can't stop remembering all the beautiful life we shared together...thru the good times and the bad...you will always be in my heart everyday in every way....I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU HERE ON EARTH, I"LL BE WITH YOU WHEN MY MISSIONS ARE DONE HERE ON EARTH,TELL MOM AND DAD THAT I MISS THEM AND ALL OUR FAMILIES....SEE YOU IN HEAVEN SIS XOXOXO'S

Dear Julia,

You have been on my mind often since I wrote my first entry and every day this month -- the sad anniversary of your passing. In my mind I still see your intense blue eyes and beautiful smile. And I can still hear your voice. You will always be a part of me. I bet you and Dana are very happy to be together again -- friends forever and ever!

Love to you and your family,
Leslie

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Julia brifely thru my sister Dana. Julia was a lovely person. My sister said that she could always trust Julia with her heart. Theay were close friends. Now they are both with God.

Our Sweet Julia,

I am so deeply saddened by your loss. I know that you are now free from the burdens and cares of this world but those that loved you (and there are many) will miss you all the days of their lives.

Your friendship was a precious and cherished gift and I know that I am very fortunate to have had you for a close friend. You helped me so much through difficult times with your willingness to listen and your positive attitude.

Julia, you will live...

To My Ya Ya Sister,

I can not believe you are gone. We were going to grow old together. I miss you greatly. It saddens me to know I will not have anymore morning coffee chats with you. I will not look up and see you coming around the corner from my kitchen window. No more front porch visits or back porch visits. Our time spent together was oh so special and precious and way too short. Life will not be the same with out you. Until we meet again...

Love
Your...

Aunt Julia,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
