Steve, I am so sorry for you and your family's loss. Hugs and prayers to you during this difficult time.

Our Operations team had the privilege of working with Julie and her cancer center administration team. It was truly a pleasure-Julie brought a wonderful sense of humor, humility, and genuine kindness to every interaction. She deeply valued partnerships and people, and her presence left a lasting impact on all of us. Our hearts are heavy for her family and for the entire Cancer Center team during this difficult time.

Julie was a wonderful, loving, trustworthy, and overall amazing person. I miss her already. Sending love and light to Steve, Stuart, Lucy, and all who loved her.

My condolences to Stuart and the rest of the Brabbs family - I'm Nicky and Ian Montgomery's mom, from school? I remember your mom as having such a positive and peaceful energy at all volunteer events and cello concerts. I was so sorry to learn of her passing in the obituary shared with the University Record. May your warm memories of her console you all during this difficult time.

Dear Steve, Stuart, Lucy, Penny, and Family, What a joy it was to work with Julie and be in her orbit. I will always be grateful for her friendship, her tenacity, and her commitment to the very best. Family was her core, and she loved you all so much. My thoughts are with you at this time. Chris Friese University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center
