I was working at the Pilot Post Office about 7 or 8 years ago. Although I had not seen Julia for 40 years,I recognized her. She went home and called back and invited me to her house for lunch. She was indeed a kind and wonderful person.

To Julia's Family and Friends: I just spoke with her a couple of days ago at the Rehab Home and she sounded wonderful. I can't believe that she's not here with us. I am a 1961 classmate of DHS and Julia was always so kind and helpful with English questions that I would ask of her. I am so very sorry, however, i am thankful that i just spoke with her. I hope someone will give her cat the love that she had with Julia.
