It is with great sadness that I learned of your passing. It has been many year but you were my best friend growing up on East Grand Ave. We attended Lucas Elementary and Woodrow Wilson Jr High. Despite the years you remain unforgettable. You and your entire family were a beacon for me that still shines today. You were the adorable "little red headed" girl that captured our entire neighborhood's heart. My deepest condolences to your family and to your Mother whom I remember with deep affection. Time may take those we love but not our sweet and enduring memories. RIP sweetest of friends.

Craig and family - there are simply no words that can express my sorrow or convey my love to you and the family. Julie knew how much she was loved by all of us, because we always told her. And I know I'll see her again. Praying for comfort and strength for you and the family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Also for the fact that I now won't see Julie at our 50th class reunion. She was dear friend of mine through high school and her Mom and Dad were very good to me. Hoping the memories can fill the holes in your heart!
