I'm so sorry to hear of Mrs. Johnson's passing. I was in her first class at Lake Elmo but have since moved to the West Coast and lost touch. She was my favorite teacher ever. The one I always talked about when the subject of 'the teacher who changed your life' came up. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Trace, There are people that come into our lives and leave lasting footprints in our hearts forever. You will both remain there. My heart goes out to you and your children. Julie was and will always be an extremly special person to me. The memories I have of her laughter and craziness will always bring a smile. I am so sorry we have lost touch over the years, but please know you will be with us in our hearts, and Julie will be with all of us for eternity. Heaven will now be a happier place! Anyone that ever had the pleasure of knowing her is blessed. May God be with you. Love, hugs and prayers - Teresa and Greg Dupre

Dear Johnson and Edison families -
Heaven reclaimed one if it's own...an angel that walked this earth, Julie. Our son had the privilege of having Julie as his teacher; we loved her so much, she also became his after school tutor for a few years. She made David feel like he was the best part of her day... I would call her the pied-piper of teachers as she could lead every single kid down the path with her to fun learning. No one was left out. I also loved her as a friend. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit lights the hearts of all who knew her. Onward, Julie.

Our oldest son was fortunate to have Julie Johnson as his third grade teacher at Lake Elmo. What a difference she made for him and for so many other children. Her smile and infectious laugh made any room she was in considerably brighter. She must be needed elsewhere to bring that light there. Rest in peace Julie - you will be missed, but not forgotten.

Trace you and your family are in our prayers.

Dear Edison and Johnson Families, Julie grew up next to us on Indian Way. She was our baby sitter and she did some of her early teacher training with me. She always had something special, much like her Mother! You all must be so proud of the legacy she leaves behind . May the thought of a joyful painless eternal life help each of you deal with your loss. Thinking of You, Joanne

Deepest condolences to the Edison family on your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Julie was such a fantastic person. My family was blessed to live next door to the Edisons in NSP growing up. When I was two I'd cross the backyards and press my little nose to their sliding glass door waiting until they kindly take pity on me and let me in their house. Julie was a treasured friend and babysitter. God Bless you, Jill Stueven Feland, Maplewood, MN

Johnson/Edison Family,
It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.

Julie,
You were a remarkably strong woman, who never lost sight of what was important to you. You always wore a smile, even when things were not so good you were always smiling….. Your smile will be sadly missed….but never forgotten.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
