Comments
I am truly sorry to hear about Julie's passing. My heart breaks for all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. My God comfort your hearts with beautiful memories of Julie. I will always remember her as the peanut with blond curls and beautiful smile and laugh that I babysat. What a beautiful reunion that had to be with her Daddy.
Love and Hugs,

I am so sorry for your loss. Although I didn’t know Julie, I feel like I did somehow through knowing you two. I’ll be wrapping your family in prayer and asking God to give you the peace that passes all understanding.
All my love,
Kellie
