Mr. and Mrs. White,

Words cannot begin to truly express how sorry I am to hear of this loss. Julia was a wonderful person and I was glad to have known her through music at LHS, as well as at UAlbany, adding to our music load to help Champ out. I would say that she definitely was one of my best friends that I have had and that are good memories that we can forever cherish. Those memories we have of her last a lifetime, so I encourage you to hold on to them, as they will help through this time of sorrow.
