So sorry to hear of your passing Julie. You will be sadly missed by all. You were a very talented woman when it came to your paintings and your wire wrapping art. You were amazing at all of it. You could do anything you put your mind to it. I will miss our talks too. No more treatments now. You went through a lot. You are all healed now in the arms of Jesus. Fly high sweet angel and now rest in peace. We love and miss you. Hugs and Kisses

1 thought of you today, but that is nothing new. 1 thought about you yesterday and days before that too. 1 think of you in silence, 1 often speak your name. All 1 have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part. God has you in His arms, 1 have you in my heart, always and forever.
