Dear Faye,
I was so shocked and saddened to read about Julie. I had no idea she had health problems.
I think of you often as I "tool around" Bella Vista. I remember your telling me about Bella Vista and your considering moving here...and I was the one who did it!
Faye, I'm so sorry about Julie.
My sympathy, SUE SMITH

This is a special note to Brittany from myself and my soon-to-be 16-year-old daughter, Lauren Swagerty. I have watched you grow from an adorable toddler in our play group to a beautiful teenager of today. Your mother and I were close during your early years then rekindled our friendship again while we lived in Seneca for a period of time. She was truly a gifted, kind-hearted soul that rarely had a negative word to say about anyone. I will miss her radiant smile and gregarious laugh. Our love goes out to you in this time of tragedy. Remember the precious times...she loved you more than life itself.

Julie was a very talented singer, pianist, and teacher. Julie was a very friendly person and very ambitious. She will be deeply missed.

My children were piano students of Julie's a few years ago. My heart goes out to all of you, and especially to Brittany, on the loss of her mom! I saw Julie last year sometime, and we chatted briefly. I knew she was having health problems, but had no idea they were so serious. Please know that you're all in our thoughts and prayers!
Linda, Jerry, & Family

I feel so blessed to have had you
in my life-the time was far too
short, but so wonderful. Sky sends
her love too--always, your wingman.

I enjoyed knowing Julie in high school. Very musically talented. One of the few I've known with perfect pitch. I'm glad to see music was important in the rest of her life.
