My fondest memories of Julie were of us cheering on our boys during baseball. Cory and Brandon started as 4 year olds (Brandon was 4) and played together all the way through college. Julie was my baseball buddy. She cracked me up every time she called Brandon wild thing. Really miss her. God Bless, Julie and family

The World has lost a Truly remarkable and amazing person. It is an honor and privilege for me to have known her and have the ability to call her friend.

Rick, Cory, and Stephen:

I am so sad at the loss of such a wonderful person like Julie. She made the world a better place through her smile and through her love. She was always so friendly and kind to all who met her. I remember how proud she was at Steven's Eagle ceremony and that she cried as he was bestowed that honor. She will live on in your hearts and watch over you always.

Lots of love

Dear Rick, Steven and Cory,

I don’t need to tell you this, but Julie (Mom) was the most amazing, giving person we have ever met. She was a client who turned into an amazing friend – because of “who she was”. Every time we saw each other she would always talk about “the boys” and how proud she was of you. From the day of Julie’s diagnosis, I have thanked GOD for giving me the opportunity to be a part of her life. Julie taught me more than you will ever know. My thoughts and prayers will ALWAYS be with you.

Dear Rick, Cory, Steven, Aunt Tess, Cheryl, Bob, and family,
Dave and I are so sorry about your loss! We have not been in touch with the family because of our distance from Buffalo, New york, but we remember the fun times and have very pleasant memories of Julie and her positive outlook on life. You are in our prayers and thoughts. We wish you comfort in all the wonderful times you spent with Julie's warm, friendly personality.
Love and Condolances,
Joanne and Dave Ziccarelli
