It wasn't the faultless hair or the envious tan, it was the wit and personality of Julia which made her so fun to be around.  Julia, your humor and presence will be missed.  Was good to catch up during both reunions.

Just saw Julia at our 50th class reunion and she looked fantastic.  We chatted for awhile and it really was good to see her.  So sorry to hear of her sudden passing.

So glad I got to see and talk to Julia at the reunion. We became Facebook friends and I learned that she was a great cook, loved to travel, and was devoted to her church.  Julia will be missed

My dear childhood friend,please know I will always think of you with love and happy memories from our time together at church, camp and school. I only wish our last correspondence had been one of a different nature since the subject was one we did not see eye to eye on but it never changed my friendship toward you. Rest in the Lord and enjoy your rewards and I look forward to seeing you again.
