I am so very sorry to read of Julie's passing. Julie was an extremely strong individual. She was always the mentor by and for each and every one of her students individuality and expected no less from anyone that worked with her and her students. Julie will be missed by all who had the blessings of knowing her. My prayers are for her family and friends.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to Julia's family and friends. It's times like these when the loving promises of our Heavenly Father such as knowing that we can see our loved ones again can bring us comfort and soften some of the pain we feel in our hearts. 1 Thessalonians 4: 13,14

My daughter had Julie in high school and this tear at STRIVE. She was always great at getting my daughter to get her to exceed in everything she was shown. You have my deepest sympathies in your loss.

I got to know Julie through the TEC program in Quincy, IL. She was such a sweet young lady and I knew that she would give a lot to this world. She went Christmas Caroling with us and came to our house when my wife and I had a Christmas party for some of the TEC kids. She always had a warm smile and it is a real loss that she was taken so young. Heaven has gotten a very special Angel. I pray that God will Strengthen and Comfort you in your time of loss and sorrow. Please know that you are in my prayers.

Julie always had her arms open wide to give a big hug to us each and every time we saw her. Her beautiful smile lit up the room. She was such a warm and loving person. We are all blessed to have known her. May God bless you Patrick, Jake, and McKenna. You have such an amazing angel watching over you.

Rest in peace Mrs. Casey. I've been part of the D155 STRIVE program now for about 3 years. I'm in lane 4c. I always said hi to her in the hallways at school, she was with lane 1. I always saw Mrs. Casey in the halls wearing her colorful bandanas on her heard. We will all miss you Mrs. Casey. You are now home with our lord. Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the Casey family during this time.
