I am a better person for knowing Julie. She always had a smile and a laugh for you. Her love for you, Jim, and her boys was quite visible. A great MOM. She and Gloria were quite a pair. Will miss them both.

Julie was one in a million! A loving wife, a devoted mother & "nonna", the kindest neighbor & a courageous woman. Most of all she was a dear & generous friend for 28 yrs. She will be greatly missed by so many who loved her. "Cherish the memories....."
Our hearts & prayers are with you all.
