Julie was a former student of mine at College of Saint Mary. She once told me that she was a very spoiled child. I found that she was quite the opposite. Julie was warm-hearted, generous, and a deeply good person. I still remember her often and with fondness.

Thinking of you today Julie. As every other day. The memories of the crazy things we did make me laugh still. Our escapades could fill a book. I should write one about us and dedicate it to you know who. Remember the easle.

I worked with Julie at Council Bluffs Savings Bank (in the basement)many years ago. We took lunches, breaks and
helped Julie move to the Bluff apartments. I enjoyed Julie friendship
during those years. I had no idea that Julie had MS (my husband has MS too)or
that she moved to AZ. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. I'm sending my thoughts and prayers to her family members.
