Rustin I never had the chance to meet Julie but from I've read she obviously had an enlightening & angelic spirit. There are no words I could ever say to give you or all those who loved her complete comfort but please know that Allah's will is omnipotent & magnificant and He will provide all the comfort & answers you, her family & friends will ever need.May Allah bless you abundantly and continue to be pleased with you.

Juliette was a wonderful person who had so many awesome gifts. In her brief time on this earth she impacted the lives of so many people. Her unforgettable smile was matched by her concern for others, her incredible compassion and her ability to see the beauty in everything and everyone. We came to know and love Rustin and Juliette for the people they are and the good they wanted to do. The earth has definitely lost one of its angels. While we are saddened by this tremendous loss, we are grateful for having sweet Juliette in our lives if even for a short while. Our lives have been enriched as a result of having known Juliette Nicole Lewis. We will always love and cherish her memory. - Ricardo, Barbara, Christian, Kendall and Kayden King.
Rustin, during this difficult time remember that God has a plan for all of us and he doesn't give us more than we can bear.

May God ease your time of sorrow Rustin and the entire Tyler family and surround you with his love. In his loving arms he holds our beloved Julie in his majesty. We thank God for the time he gave us with Julie. We have so many great memories of Julie: kindness, her humor and a smile that rivaled the sun.
To both families (Lewis and Tyler) remember that nothing that is so beautiful is ever lost. Those we love and the beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief and forever live in the heart..
In God's love,

Rustin- Please find comfort in knowing and believing that Jesus have a remarkable spirit and the short time knowing Juliette, we felt that anoiting Spirit while in her presence. We will truly miss her but like so many have said her example to the little ones (Reniya and Desmond) will always be cheerish. I want you to depend now on God like never before and believe that He will wrap you in his arms and hold you even in the midnight hour. God Bless you and your lovely family. Anthony, Darlene, Reniya and Desmond.

While you are saddened by the loss of your loved one, please find solace in the fact that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So Sis.

I will never forget how, at the National Fair Housing Alliance annual conference in New Orleans, Juliette bravely stood up to a lender who had engaged in predatory lending practices. This is the Juliette I will always remember: someone who was not afraid to stand up for the rights of others, a kind and caring person, and that wonderful infectious smile.
