Shocked and saddened to hear of Julie's passing. I'll always remember her welcoming us to the neighborhood and letting the boys cross the bridge in thr woods, playing in the creek....adopting our cat that wanted to be at your house with fewer pets and kids, and the last time I saw her rejoicing in us being survivors. Her bubbly joy was contagious! I'm so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you....Gray and Heather Stout

Combine colorful bubbles blown from a wand and the intelligence of a genius (with those granny glasses) :-) and you have the recipe for Julie. We had grown apart since the boys left SA, but I am glad she touched my life.
