Julia was a great friend to our family for many years. We will truly miss her. She touched so many lives over the years, always willing to help anyone who needed help. Her loyalty was unwavering, and her kindness remarkable. She fought her illness with courage and faith. Her faith was a very important part of her life. We will miss you Julia.
