Aunt Julie,
It is amazing how we take advantage of seeing someone we love everyday, because you just know they will be there. It really saddens my heart to think that Aunt Julie won't be there anymore. I would come home from work, or just being out, and when I arrived, there was Julie, just like a member of the family. She was so kind to my entire family, but especially to my children. My daughter Genesis misses her most. She was like a Grandmother to her. She would take her places, buy her things, but more importantly, she would love her. She did the same with my daughter NyAsiah. Even more important, I think was the relationship she had built with my mother Ethel. They were more then friends, they were sisters. My mother is so saddened by the loss of Julie, because if nothing more, she would just come to her home and sit with her. Julie was the only person that I know of the could bring her dog to the house and my mother would allow the dog to sit in her bedroom with them.
You are sadly missed by all the people you have touched in my family, and I know that includes the Church family as well. I know we will all meet again, and oh what a party it will be!

We Love and miss you,
Jackie, Ethel, Genesis and NyAsiah Dowdy
