Julie...memories of you bring smiles still...you got me my first child's baking set...you showed how to be brave...you showed me how to survive. Still missing you; still remembering you, still loving you.

Remembering you with reverance and sorely missing you, but relieved because your pain and suffering are no longer. Felt your spirit of strengh as we passed by your home. Love and souls do not die, only the flesh that was temporary goes to dust.

You've fought a long and courageous fight, Sis. Your positive attitude never faltered. You've left a legacy of love and compassion to all the lives you've left behind. We, have the comfort in knowing that you have no more pain, no more worries and no more struggling to get through each day. Your spirit lives on through all of us who will miss you dearly.

Julie: I will miss you very much--your cheerful emails have long been silenced by the advancing toll of your illness, but despite the pain you were experiencing, you still took time to listen, offering words of encouragement and hope for whatever was going on in my life. Even while facing your own imminent passing, you took many hours to comfort me and help me through the illness and passing of Mike, sad and regretful that there was "nothing you could do," when you were doing everything anyone could want--listening, encouraging, consoling--I could cry with you and feel your comfort as we talked. Your sons and grandchildren have a lot to live up to...you were and continue to be an example of what love is all about. Thank you so much. your loving sister, Carol

Julia was my sister, always considerate of other's feelings, always looking for ways to help. She put up a courageous fight. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
