Condolences

I didn’t know Julie, but I do know her daughter, Erin, and Julie must have been a wonderful woman to raise such a gracious, spunky, and thoughtful daughter. Julie’s earthly struggle is over, and I hope this brings peace to her family. Rest in Peace.

My heart is breaking with all of you. Julie called on the surgeon I worked with at the Univ of Iowa and then introduced me to Val who has remained a good friend since the early 80’s. I have never known anyone that could light up a room and have that zest for life like Julie did!  As a nurse, I am devastated that this horrible disease took Julie from us. I will look to my faith to know she is healed and our paths will cross again.
My life was blessed by knowing Julie and her incredible strength.

Dear Julie,

Just met you in the Starbucks (Target) in Plymouth, MN whilst working in MN.

You touched my life from day one.
Thank you 🙏 🙇🏻‍♂️.
Rest in peace!

I am so sorry my friend. I hope Julie rests in peace. What a great lady and friend.

I’m thinking of you and know you’ve had such a hard handful of years. I hope you and the kids are able to spend quality time remember all of the wonderful times you had with her. Next round is on me up at Sugar Lake.

Carly, Sugar Lake neighbor 

I can’t stop thinking of Julie. I am happy for her and sad how hard she would fight every single day. I will miss her but she is better now.

"I met Julie on a blind date. I watched her get out of her car, run a comb through her hair, and start walking to our meeting place. That was it for me, I was head over heels."
Brad
"The hug timeline has an extension period reserved only for Julie. The length of that hug extension is up to Julie alone. I really love those hugs."

"The first time I met Julie, she was walking through the company halls and handing out 'Tuesdays with Morrie' books. She gives so much of herself to every relationship, both personal and professional."
Michelle
"I felt the most beautiful way to share my love for Julie was that of the growth of a tree. We have grown together like this beautiful tree and we will continue to grow together forever."

My friend, I just heard about Julie. I am so sorry for you and your family. I know she had suffered a lot with great dignity. I am sure she is in a better place now.
