Dear Dewight and Family-
I was shocked when I learned Julie had passed away. I remember all the good times we had in school together. We had summer birthdays and our slumber parties were so much fun. Beverly always made the best snacks for us, my favorite was the rice krispy treats. I am sending prayers and hugs, Julie was a wonderful friend. God bless you.

My deepest sympathy to your family for your loss. Several years ago before Julie moved to Alabama, I enjoyed going to Broadway plays with Julie at the Embassy Theater along with other friends. Julie was fun and will be greatly missed. Rosie Thayer

"Julie and I have been working together almost 20 years since Phillips Automotive in Auburn Indiana in 1995. Julie became my friend and as co-worker. She was hardworking, kind, nice, always willing to help ..."

Julie and I have been working together since the merging of our companies in 2007. Julie became my friend as well as co-worker. Even though we were in different areas of the country, we shared personal and family milestones and accomplishments. She had a great laugh and it was always a good day when I heard it on the phone! Julie has set a work standard that I hope to adhere to. Often times I think... "What would Julie do?" I will miss her council and wisdom.

Julie and I worked for Siemens VDO. I was in the Chatham Ontario Canada office and would travel to Huntsville, Alabama, where she worked. I remember that she invited the whole IT team to her home for drinks and food. She was very good to work with. It was a pleasure to know her.
