We extend our sympathy to you and Ryan. We never got to meet Julie, but heard so much about her from Sharon. She was a gift from God, and he has her in his loving arms again. She will never suffer again.
Our prayers will continue to be with you, you must be very wiery after sitting in the hospital for past weeks.

Perhaps they are not stars but rather openings in heaven, where the love of our lost ones pour through and shine down upon us to let us know they are happy. .....Eskimo Legend

Julie will always hold a special place in our hearts. For me she was a buddy and an example of how to share unconditional love. Her smile will always be in my mind and heart. Her parents and brother deserve the highest praise for the care and love they gave her. She gave so much to others in her own special way. For the blessing of having her in our lives we are truly grateful.

Although I did not know Julie I know that she was much loved by her Aunt Deby. My condolences are with you and your family during this difficult time.
"When those we love go away, they never really leave us;
they are with us now, wherever we are.
Those whom we have cherished, live on forever,
for love wraps itself around the heart.
Although it's difficult now,
someday beyond your tears and all the world's wrongs;
beyond the clouds and all that we can see and touch,
we shall all understand."
