Lou and I have known Julie for about 20 years. We all went to the same Elementary, Jr. High and High School. Julie was a happy and vibrant person. She was the type of person that could light up a room when she entered it and the room would dim when she left. We spoke on the phone everday day and was more like a sister to me than a friend. Our families were extremely close and we will greatly miss her. We are very fortunate to have had her in our lives and will cherish the memories that we created. She was not only a great friend but she was a great mother and wife. Her family meant the world to her. She has two beautifal daughters, Lauren and Lindsay, one which is my goddaughter. Julie was one of a kind and had a heart of gold. We were always there for eachother and we will continue to be there for Mike and the Girls. Julie lived a life of dignity and grace, and was proud of her marriage to Mike and of her children. I am sure that Julie is up in heaven watching over us and has already earned her golden wings. She will never be forgotten. My deepest sympahties go out to Mike, Lauren & Lindsay.

Julie and I were friends at Bloom High School. We had several classes together, and I can honestly say high school would not have been the same experience without her. She was a caring and kindhearted person, which I am sure made her a wonderful nurse. My deepest sympathies go out to her husband, children, and other family and friends for their loss.

Julie has been a friend of mine since we were kids. She was an incredible friend, a loving mother, devoted wife, and a caring daughter and sister, to say the least. No matter when you saw her she always had a smile on her face, and always made it point to put one on yours. The memories I have of her will forever be cherished in my heart, as she truly was remarkable and someone you could truly depend on.

My deepest sympathy to Michael, Lauren, Lindsey, Patty and the family.

Julie will forever be our guardian angel and watch over us as we continue the journey of life.
