Julie Zierolf (Apodaca) Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 16, 2023.
Dear Julie,

Thank you, Julie, for being my childhood friend for so many years, and, during a time when I needed friends and family.

Thank you, Al and Ruth, for taking me into your home and treating me like an Apodaca. I have fond memories of time spent with the Apodaca clan - I do miss those fun times on Surrey Street.

Julie, you were a warrior. An Urban Pioneer. A gifted athlete, Wife, Daughter, Aunt, a Friend - "A Weber (Smokey Joe) Master." A kind childhood friend that I will keep close to my heart. Thank you for making my life happier during the "early days' of growing up in SF, and for your continued friendship as we rocked aging in the Bay. You and your family will always have a place in my heart. I miss you very much, Julie. I only wish there was time to say goodbye. Love you, forever friend.

My sister and my friend, I am having a very hard time moving on, especially since at this writing, I have lost you, my beloved Maurice, our sister Tina, and as of February 1st, our brother Mark. I was still grieving you when I lost Maurice, I was still grieving Maurice when I lost Tina, and I was still grieving Tina when I lost Mark. I am reeling from all the pain and loss I feel and I miss you all so much. I am, however, very grateful for the time I had with each and every one of you. I am especially grateful that I was able to help take care of you before you left. I have peace knowing you all have each other and our Mom, Dad, Aunties Elsie and Lucille, Uncle Bob and Greg. Thank you for all the fun times we had, my precious baby sister. I hold every single memory close to my heart

Julie, when I see a Ford Ranchero, I can't help but think of our good times. Thinking of you - it's been a year.
