We will certainly miss Julie's darling personality. She was always so sweet to talk with and I personally loved her sense of style - especially her fun little jeans with rhinestone trim! Julie was a sharp lady and it was always great to see her staying educated on the latest in alternative health topics. Our hearts go out to the Williams' family - may her fun & loving memories live on! Matt, Lori & JD

How we laughed and enjoyed our parents' friendships with families along the road now named Holmes Point Drive. Years and years of bridge club gatherings, dance parties, talent shows and holidays to say nothing of the on-going day to day relationships with the children of those friends. I have often remarked that we had several sets of parents: nothing seemed to go without, ahem, "observation" by the collective group. Every adult member brought something special. Julie danced through her life with four men with a smile, and might I add, not without commentary. She held her ground: I admired her so much that my first daughter was named Julie for our family friend. Peace be with you dear lady and "Thanks for the Memory." Sharon Dwinnell-Smith, Lynnwood, WA

Julie has always been one of my favorite people, she was always a very warm and special lady. Our families had many great times growing up together in Denny Park-she knew how to throw a party at their home on the lake! Gretchen and I are very thankful we were able to spend a little time with Julie over the past few years. Bob & Gretchen Dwinnell
