Julia Hillebrand Obituary
Julia Elizabeth Hillebrand, our beautiful 12 year old daughter, passed from this life to the next on December 4, 2010. Julia had 4 older brothers and sisters, Michael, MaryClaire, Madeline and Peter who will miss her dearly and her mom, Nan and her dad, Paul say thank you to God for almost 13 wonderful years; you are our dear darling daughter. Julia died of a rare brainstem tumor (DIPG) surrounded by her family. She will be remembered for her smile and her bright blue eyes, her kindness and thoughtfulness, and her complete determination. She was gifted in many ways; she loved her violin and during her illness really enjoyed painting. Most of all Julia was very sweet and had a deep faith in Jesus. Julia went to St. Timothy's
grade school in Mesa. Funeral services will be 11:00 am Saturday, December 11th at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Scottsdale. Donations in her memory can be made to this DIPG research foundation www.mikeyczech.org.

Dear Nan and Paul,
I am a friend from the past at St. Maria Goretti Parish where my late husband, Deacon Rick Curran, served. I am in town for Christmas, visiting from my new home in Clinton, Tennessee. I saw Julia's name in the SS. Simon and Jude Cathedral Parish bulletin this morning. You have been in my thoughts and prayers all day. I am sad for your family that you do not have Julia physically present with you. May you each be embraced by our heavenly Father who holds Julia so tenderly in His arms. God be with you.

I did not know Julia, but my sister, Susan Walker is a friend of your family. I have been praying for Julia, as many people have, & will continue to do so as she makes her way to the Kingdom.
She was taken out of order, & I believe there to be no greater pain. May God grant you His grace as you journey through your loss.
It is in the darkness that the stars shine brightest. I am so sorry.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go now to prepare a place for you. John 14:2.
Love you to the heavens now. Mouse
