Julie was our neighbor for a very short time, but it was easy to quickly feel comfortable with here. We had a couple of good laughs over our identical calls, especially the day we both pulled into the corner gas station at the same time. Her sense of humor was delightful. Our thoughts and prayers will be with her family. Most sincerly...

To my relatives:
I know no words can help in these sad times. I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Like my brother Jim, when I think of Julie I think of her beautiful smile, her good nature and the fun times we had at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I will treasure these memories. A particular song comes to mind with the death of Julie, Only the good die young, by Billy Joel.
We will all miss her!
With Sympathy,

I am so sorry to hear that Julie passed away. Her time seemed too short. I've read through some of the entries in her guest book and they made me smile remembering the wonderful person she was. My hope and prayer is that you can find something to smile about as you reminisce about Julie during this sad time.

To All My Relatives ~
Julie was a dear and close cousin and friend. I'll always remember her happy nature, beautiful smile, and infectious laugh. We were just two years apart, and I have so many wonderful memories growing up with her in Colorado -- especially all the Holidays we shared, from Easter egg hunts, to fireworks on the Fourth, to Thanksgiving dinners and more. May all the happy times with Julie live on in your thoughts as they will in mine. My prayers and sympathy go out to all of you for this sudden and tragic loss.

To the Powell Family,

It was very heart breaking to hear of Julie's passing, she had a great sense of humor and a big heart. she was a great person to work for, she always took time out of her day to teach us something new and answer our questions. she treated everyone with respect, honesty and support, she encouraged her employees to learn everything that would help them succeed.
I will truelly miss her, and believe that she is in a better place, where she is without the concerns of her sickness. May God bless you and your family, and give you the strength and courage to get through each day. I will always remember what a great person she is, and all the fun times we had.
