Julie has finally reached her final transformation, while here among us she demonstrated kindness to many, and now she is in glory, transformed completely into the image of Christ! Thankful to Christ for saving Julie. Peace to the family I pray.

47 years she has been a very significant spoke in my wheel. She is the definition of "sweet". Her example of kindness will continue to inspire me and, with God's grace, help transform me. May I be more like her because she is more like him.
