Not sure what to say?

I met Julie through my sister, Juanita Morrison, who was the first to marry at the HH. My husband and I always saw Julie when there was a party going at the Morrisons. My husband's 70th B-Day celebration took also place at the HH. My husband and I liked Julie very much. She was a classy and very talented lady. She portrait the "hostess with the mostess!" She was a fun-loving gal with a great spirit! She will be missed. Sending you my love Julie.

My future husband and I went to see what The Hostess House was offering for a wedding. The day we went in, we found out that Julie had just opened 2 weeks earlier and that we would be the 1st wedding there which was May 18, 1985. We were good friends after that. We invited her to all of our family's social functions at our house. When our 1st born turned 18 in 2004, he worked in Julie's HH kitchen for almost 3 years. Two of our friends who attended our wedding at HH, were so impressed with...

My mom (Bobbie) met Julie when they both worked at Jaqueline´s at Jantzen Beach. She loved Julie and would be sad to hear of her passing. I remember Julie as a fun, go getter who was very supportive of her children and a very sweet lady. My condolences on your loss.

Don and I got married at the Hostess House in 1985 and she did a wonderful job helping us get to the alter

Julie was an amazing woman. I admire how she lived her life to the fullest. Through the Hostess House, she made many wonderful weddings, events and memories! I remember Julie´s grandchildren bringing her so much joy! She was very generous, had a great sense of humor and fun. I enjoyed working with her, going to bridal shows, broadway shows, the company pool parties, Christmas cookie decorating and holiday parties. May the sweet memories be a comfort to Julie´s family and friends in this...

My first memory of Julie was when we were children and would go to family parties, especially at Christmas. She was two years older than I was, and I always looked up to her. About a year ago, I called and visited with her and it was so nostalgic. We talked and laughed, and I was so happy that I called her. Julie was a beautiful, strong, amazing woman who faced some real trials and I always admired her resilience. To all of you in her family I sent my love and condolences.

Ruhe in Asche! <3
