Matt and I are so sorry to hear about Julie. She was so outgoing, so nice and loved to hear the stories of Adams hockey adventures. She will definitely be missed.

Julie was a wonderful person. She was a welcoming host when we stayed with her and Bill in Lincoln. We always had fun and a lot of laughs during our stays. I am honored to have had her as a sister in law and a part of my life. She will be missed.

I was so very sorry to read of Julie´s passing. I had many fond memories of being her golf partner in the Smith-Kline and Pfizer ladies golf league. The last time we spoke was last year when we bumped into each other. Where else but the golf course. She was so much fun. I will forever consider myself blessed to have known her.

Julie was a dear and amazing friend who brightened my life since I met her many years ago. We laughed together and cried together on occasion. She was a constant source of support and inspiration to me. I will miss her terribly and yet feel so grateful to have been her friend and shared so many great times together. My thoughts are with her family and many friends.
