Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of your family at this time. Losing a sibling is very difficult. I enjoy talking to Julie at Target…Great time to catch up with the families.

Please know that I grieve with you for the loss of Julia. I did not know her for long … but I do know that she was "one in a million" because she was so thoughtful and kind. There are no words of comfort … other than my heart is with you in this sad time … and you are not alone in your grief. Milly Quote
Especially Jerry, Sarah and Jacob.
It is hard to lose someone near and dear to your heart. I lost my mom 3 ½ years ago and what I learned from that is you take 1 day at a time, you live for the memories, (I bet there is alot of very fond memories)and it shows your support system and from the people at the visititation it looks like you have an awesome support system and that will help alot. I worked with Julie for almost 13 ½ years at Target and she was very fun to work with. I will treasure the memories forever. I feel very blessed having had known Julie for 13 ½ years. Julie touched alot of people and we were very blessed to have known her for as long as we have. She will be missed alot. If you need a hug you know where I work and hugs are always free and unlimited for however long you need them. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. You will always have a special guardian angel watching over you.
