Julie was a loving friend. She joined our Forever Young Senior Chorus after I mentioned it at one of our book club meetings. I LOVED seeing her smiley face each time we rehearsed or sang for folks at nursing and/or retirement homes. She did not care that we were not perfect. She enjoyed making our audiences happy. We will all miss her at the chorus.

Julie was a wonderful person and teacher. My son, David, attended Tall Pines 1979-1981 and thrived from the experience. Thank you, Julie, for the time and effort you put in for the kids.

Julie was our first person to contact upon moving to Grass Valley. Her work at Tall Pines established a framework for us to be members of and understand the idea of community. Throughout the year Julie and Lynn , Catherine and Paul, were beloved members of the Swan Levine family. It was with Julie that Peggy convinced of the collection of Nevada County Artist for a gallery and museum of Nevada County Art. Our love to you is this cosmos - see you on the porch!
