Julie was a very special person. We lived together many years ago and had lots of fun sharing our apartments. We lost touch the last few years and I´m sad that I hadn´t kept in touch. My deepest condolences to her Aunt Betty and the rest of her family. I´m not able to travel but I will be at her service in heart. Rest In Peace Julie.
