To Joanne & Mrs. Pounds
I was so saddened to hear of Julie's passing. She was my first friend, on my first day, at Silas Deane Jr. High, way back in the 7th grade. We sat next to each other in homeroom, shared many a lunch and (forgive me), a bathroom smoke :). She was always quick with a joke and a smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and with her two precious little ones. God Bless.

Dear Joanne and family,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. May God be with you through this difficult time. We think of you often, and all you have done for our children over the years. They would not be the young people they are had it not been for your influence and guidance. Although we did not know Julie, we hope you will find comfort in your memories of her. God Bless

Dear Mrs. Pounds and Joanne,

I was a friend of Juliette's from Greenfield Elementary and as you can tell by the amount of Greenfield Alum that have already logged in, Juliette made an impression on all of us. She was one of the funniest people I remember growing up and she always could make us laugh.

She will be sorely missed and my prayers go out to the two of you and the rest of your family.

Words can not express the emotions that I am feeling right now. Not only am I in total shock, but total disbelief. I have known Julie since she was 2 years old. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I will never forget Julie.

Harriette, I don't know if you remember me, but we worked together over 20 years ago, for the Fultons. I'm so sorry to read about your dear daughter. I can remember the twins when they were in high school. I lost my Mom in June so I know the pain you are feeling. May God help you bear this pain... Thinking of you Theresa
