I never thought I would be posting a condolence message for you Julie. You were such a wonderful person and a great Mom and Grandmother. I could never thank you enough for loving my daughter the way you did. The guidance you gave her and opening your home and heart to her have changed her life forever. She will be a success because of the start you gave her. RIP my friend. You are already missed.

Oh my dearest Julie, I would never thought that I’d be posting this so soon! You are and have always been a ray of sunshine in my life. Was so glad we reconnected many years after graduation from high school. You were a great friend and adviser in continuing my education for Nursing, and getting my LVN 20 years after high school. You will be missed by Larry and I.
Sending prayers, love and sweet thoughts to Charlie, Katy, and Jenny at this time, that our Lord hold and sustain them throughout the days ahead. RIP sweet Julie! â¤ï¸
My deepest condolences to the entire family! Juli was one of the kindest people I have known. You will be missed but have wonderful memories my friend.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Julie’s family, My Dad and I were her neighbors for many years. We also knew her from TVCC where I was a student for several semesters, at the Palestine and Athens campus. We are very saddened by her passing, she was much to young. She was like a family member to us and she and I had things in common, including both having red hair. We want to offer whatever support we can to her family, including Charlie her son who is a friend of mine and a former class mate. This Easter we will ask for and offer special prayers at our church service. We know that this Easter Julie will see the Lord Jesus face to face. We will always remember her and her family and we will light a special candle in our house just for her. Sincerely, Dwight Estes and Ben Estes
I was saddened of the news when my brother called to inform me that Julie had passed. It seemed so surreal. Although I had not seen her in quite sometime, our memories of childhood linger, and a smile comes to mind when I think of her.
