Branden, our hearts and prayers are with you and your two children. We did not know Julie, but knew of her struggles. Know that we wish Gods greatest blessing on you and yours. Our Love Doyle and Sue Monk

We did not know Julie personally, but our little boy is in Kindergarten with Sterling. I was so touched by this, and feel deeply saddened by your loss. I pray you will find comfort to help you through this difficult time. When I see Sterling at school, I will make sure to give him an extra big hug. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I will always remember how sweet Julie was. How much she loved her family. How patient she was with her kids. I am deeply sorry for the loss that you all feel. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for all of you. I am so sorry her kids won't be able to have her by their side. I pray that the Lord will bless you all with the strength you will need to continue on. I feel fortunate to have called Julie friend.
Love, Wendy Willes
