I think if you daily, Julie. You were such a kind soul and dear friend. The death of a loved one always impacts our lives but your passing has had such a profound impact on me - I still find it difficult to accept. You are loved by so many. It seems impossible you've been gone 3 years. I find comfort knowing you're in such an amazing place - a place we all hope we find ourselves in when it's our time to leave our journey on earth.

I'll never forget her kindness and love. Julie was always so happy and such a blessing to all. She was a precious gem and the best hair stylist I've ever had. Rest In Peace my dear friend.

I just went by house to visit with Julie. I saw her around Oct. 8. She was my dear friend for 25 years - even if we didn't visit but every few weeks. She knew she was always in my thoughts. I was just heartbroken to find out in such a way.
I know Julie is in the arms of God and that she is remembered in none but the most special ways. God Bless You, Julie and thank you for such fun over the years. I will always remember you with smiles and laughter.

I just found out about Julie, I am in shock and dis-belief. Julie was a great friend, loving and caring to so many. She will be greatly missed in ways, too many to mention. My condolences to her sweet Mother and her beautiful boys. My heart aches for all of her family. Someone I will never forget!

I am so sorry. We have been out of town and just heard of Julie's passing. I'm devastated that I couldn't attend the service. Julie had been doing my hair for over 20 years and I loved her like one of my own. She graduated high school with one of my sons. I will miss her tremendously.So sad.

I am so sorry to hear that my friend down the street has passed. I loved and enjoyed her conversation. Please let the boys know that they can come and play with the "big dogs" anytime they want. They can also play basketball at my house anytime they want.
Will the boys still be in the Brandon School System? Where will their new home be? Let them know that the Hilton and Tinsley families love them.

I saw Julie's obituary just this morning and am having great difficulty coming to terms with the fact she is gone. I cannot seem to find the words to express how my heart is breaking over the sad news of Julie's passing. My heartfelt condolences and prayers to her precious boys and the entire family during this difficult time. RIP, my friend.
