My condolences to Julie´s family and friends! I´ve known Julie almost all of my life...and although, we traveled quite different paths during this life, we will always be connected by our childhood on Cherokee Street.

Julie was the joyful, fun, mischievous, adventurous, risk-taking friend (through whom I chose to live vicariously, as a shy teenager). Julie was also a kind, loving and generous person, who would give you her last dollar, if you needed it. I can truly say, "to know Julie was to love her", because she loved everyone and wasn´t afraid to show it!

I will always fondly remember you, Julie "JuJu" Blanchard-Norwood.
May you now find peace.
Love,
Marie "Ree-Ree" A. Bookman
