Julie was such a wonderful, thoughtful person. She always had a smile and kind word for everyone. I worked with her many years at Merck and learned a lot from her. She was a great friend who I turned to many times for her wisdom, guidance or just to share a funny story. I will never forget her and the friendship we shared.
Julie was so proud of her family. My deepest sympathies to you. My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

With our deepest condolences to Julies immediate and extended family. I had the pleasure of working with Julie at Merck Research Laboratories for a number of years. Her smile, thoughtfulness and commitment to family, both personal and professional will be fondly remembered.

So sad, too young. I remember Julie and her brother/sisters hanging at Greenfield during the summer program as well as her days at Merck. She was always smiling.

Julia, was one of the kindest, most wonderful people we all had the privilege to work with. She had a great laugh, her heart was as big as her smile, and when she walked in a room it would light up. May God Bless You All! You now have a magnificent guardian angel shining her love on you all always, and your love will never end!
