I am so sorry to hear about Juli! She was such a sweet, fun-loving girl, and very family-oriented. I remember when she was baby-sitting Colby and Riley one summer years ago, and the boys just loved her! I will keep you in my prayers! Love you! Joan Thompson

My deepest condolences to your family at this very difficult time. I taught with Juli at Roosevelt High school, and liked her very much. Her sunny disoposition never wavered, and was completely infectious. She was a lovely, lovely young woman. She and your family are in my most sincere prayers.

Steve, Lisa, Michael & Melissa,
Juli will be missed. I remember we were on our way to a soccer tournament and Juli popped in her oldies playlist she had downloaded. They happened to be all of my favorite songs and I loved the fact that someone so young also enjoyed the music I grew up with. Juli definitely had that special quality that made one feel like you were instant friends for life. A rare find. Such a tragedy to have lost someone so young who always made a positive impact on everyone she met.

I worked with Juli at Roosevelt High School. It is indescribable how someone so vibrant can be taken away so unexpectantly. I will always remember the times at her parent's beautiful home on the lake and how we searched for the cheapest price for Diet Coke. She was so generous and cared deeply about her students and all those around her. My prayers will be with her family and friends.

I loved Juli like a true sister. She was the most amazing person and friend I could ever ask for. Juli and I have shared moments of joy, sadness and most of all laughing about the silly things we would say or do. I can not understand why she was taken from us at such a young age. I love you Juli and will think about you every day until we get to meet again.
