I had the honor of taking care of Julia a few years back and she turned out to be a resident I will never forget. She taught me how to make a dump cake and told me so many stories of her grandkids. She had an amazing sense of humor and she made my job so much more enjoyable! Pat and family, I am truly sorry for your loss. My prayers are with all of you!

My dear Julie, I was honored for many years to be your hairdresser. I know how you loved getting your hair done. I will surely miss having our wonderful talks that we shared with each other. Fridays have not been the same without you. I’m sure we will meet again someday.

So sad to see this. I always enjoyed seeing your mom. I am honored we were a recipient of one of her crochet blankets. She made it for my bridal shower 25 years ago and we still have and use it on our sofa. Prayers to all of you.
