We are so saddened to learn of Julie's passing. We have such wonderful memories of her. In her Allentown schoolgirl days she was often at our home. Having her here was always a delight. Our home would ring with the laughter of young girls having a great time. Her smile would easily spread to all around her. Our hearts and prayer are with all of you and also with Julie.

Julie was always full of love! Her passion for family friends and even strangers taught me so much! I will always carry what she taught me with me forever! " it´s not who loved you but who you loved that will always be with you"

Janet and Abby,
Tears roll down my face as I think of this tragic loss. I was lucky enough to spend time with Julie growing up and through graduation. I have so many memories I could go on for ever. And I can't think of one memory that she wasn't smiling or joking. Julie had a gentle and kind heart. She can rest now,life can be so hard.
With all my love,
Sarah Williams

Janet and Abby,
My heart goes out to you ladies and I am devastated for your loss. I have the best memories of spending time with your family as a child. We were always busy having fun...pretending, dressing up, making prank calls and doing the silly things kids do...but underneath all of that I remember the love in your house. Life can really test you sometimes, but you two are strong and you can do this. I'm pretty sure our old neighborhood is rebuilding again up in heaven. In a world where it's tough to smile these days, that thought warms my heart because there was so much love and joy among all those streets and sycamore trees surrounding us.
Sending you peace and strength,
Lauren Coker

My heart just breaks hearing this news. Julie and I were childhood best friends from middle school through high school, passing notes between classes, riding our bikes in each other's neighborhoods, playing Oiuji board at sleepovers and of course watching scary movies (one of her absolute favorite things). We laughed together, cried together and made great memories. I was lucky to get reconnected with Julie when she moved back to the Allentown area a few years ago. We only saw each other a few times but it was like nothing had changed. I hope Julie is hanging out with her Dad helping him wash his car or dancing to music together. May her family find strength and peace during this time.

Jan and Abby,
Sending you love and my best wishes. Julie was an amazing early childhood friend, and I treasure the memories of running back and forth between our houses all summer long and building forts in the woods.

Dear Janet and Abby,
I am so sad to hear about Julie. We lost touch over the years, but she was one of my closest friends in high school. I will carry my fond memories of her with me- from many nights spent babysitting together to school dances to working at Dorney to visiting her in Texas. She was a loyal friend. Sending my love, Jean Deo

We lost touch for a while, but I´ll never forget the amazing support she was to me when I was struggling through some very difficult times. I´m deeply saddened to hear that she is gone. I pray that the peace and comfort of God fills the hearts and minds of family and friends, and may her soul be at rest.

Dear Janet and Abby,
It was an honor and a pleasure to have been Julie's Spanish teacher. Her enthusiasm in class is what I treasured. She made us laugh and she taught us how to enjoy learning. Julie will always have a special place in my memories of AHS.
My deepest sympathy,
