I worked with Julie at QCH. She was always encouraging and supportive and a special coworker and caregiver. And she was so much fun. I will always remember her laugh. She loved all her boys unconditionally. I know she has a special place in heaven. She will be missed

Julie and I were classmates at the Allentown school of Nursing. Our careers led to lasting friendships. Years later after raising our families ,we enjoyed getting together with other class members and sharing our lives, and when Julie moved South,we spoke every two or three weeks. She really enjoyed the loving care and safety of being with family.So pleased to call her my friend. Rest in peace dear one.my condolenses to Julie's family.

Dear Randy, Karl, Roger and Dan and families,
I would like to extend my deepest sympathies on the loss of your mother and grandmother. Ive known Julie for over 40 years. I was a baby nurse when I came to Quakertown and Julie was my manager. Over the years she was not only my boss but my mentor, and friend. She became my second mother as my mother lived a state away. She was a wonderful lady and I dont use the word lady lightly. I was lucky enough to see her again in the last several years when some of my work brought me to the Lehigh Valley. I will miss her and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her. May she rest in peace and may you all take comfort in knowing that she I will always be a part of your lives.

Mom will be greatly missed. She was a very special person and friend. We were blessed to have her stay with us in Greenville as she walked the last mile of the way here on earth. We sorrow but not without hope. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: We love you Mom.
