Heaven is sweeter because you are there. My heart is overwhelmed with thankfulness for the unconditional love of Jesus you shared in my life. You served the Lord with gladness, taught Sunday School and Children's Church as we would sit mesmerized by your ability to make Bible stories come alive. You were a great intercessor, seeking the Lord on behalf of all of us. You no longer see through a glass darkly, but you can now worship, face to Face with Jesus as He sings over you in joy.

Auntie Julia....thank you for being such a Godley woman...someone that I have been fortunate enough to confide in, look up to, and follow. You were a light that shined so bright. You were a good and faithful servent to God..you showed me how to serve God to my fullest. You were a best friend to Mom, and she loved you so much. Her adventures with you were the best of her life.
Thank you....we love you and will never forget you and the wonderful Christian women, and how you lived your life...
