I was shocked and sad to hear of Julie's passing. Julie was the BEST coworker you could have, warm, selfless and cheerful. I only met Julie once in person in Maryland, her laughing always made our meetings filled with joy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Julie will be missed.

Julie was always very welcoming when I was away from home at school in Cincinnati. She and her sisters and brothers made me feel like I had a second family down there when I was in school and the many years to follow, that's something I'll never forget.

So sorry to hear of Julie's passing. She was a model for radiating love for humankind, especially, her family. I saw some of her triumphs and tragedy of a greater divide than anyone else, I've ever known and through it all, she held fast to her Love of God and the Church. In my lifetime, I can't think of anyone I've known who will have a greater jubilee in Heaven, as she will, with those who went, before her, as her Love radiated, every time she was around.

Following an accident that left me with a broken back in college, it was Julie who helped get me out of the house, get me on my feet, and helped me to start laughing again. I am so grateful to have had her in my life at such a difficult time & will cherish my memories of our time together.

Sending my love & prayers to her family & friends. I hope you take comfort in your memories & know that Julie was truly a blessing to so many. I have no doubt that her work here on Earth my be done but her ability to bring others joy will live on forever

To Steve, Alex, Rachel, Zoe and Eli, Julie was a great childhood friend who I spent many hours with laughing and playing sports and just hanging out. we were at the same schools through High School and I remember her meeting and marrying you, Steve. over the past 20+ years we have not crossed paths much but my love for her remains very dear. I know that her loss will leave a great void in your lives though I hope the memories you made will eventually bring more pleasure than pain. I am so sorry for your loss.

Steve and Alex, I am so sorry to hear of Julie's passing. She was a big part of my life many many moons ago. We worked together at FNB and then again at IRS. Julie always made me smile even if we were crying together. She was a very special person. I will always smile when I think of her.
