To Julia's Children, we all share a piece of your sadness over the parting of a dear, sweet woman.
She is worthy of all the warm thoughts, tears shed, and much more.
She loved me as one of her own. The things I learned from her, I am passing to my children as well.
God bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. May you find peace in knowing that Julia is safe, feeling no pain and will always watch over us. Julia will be remembered for her love of children. Julia would always ask for a vacation day on the first day of school. She would watch the children board the bus with their "big backpacks" and "new shoes". She would chuckle just at the thought! I will think of her every year on this day! We miss her and love her.
