Julie was a dear friend of my Mom's. I will always remember how kind she was to me and my family. During my Mom's diagnosis with Alzheimer's, she would pick her up and take her to the gym and to the movies. She had a heart of Gold. She will be missed.

I just heard this morning about Julie´s recent passing and I am so saddened. I haven´t seen her in years but she was a student of my dance fitness classes at CSM. I often reference her as during warm ups she would always be in her own thoughts and I would always say " what are you thinking about" and she would reply "what to make for dinner " To this day, I always say to students "it´s time to dance " stop thinking about what to make for dinner" - I will remember her forever for this and many other moments
