Julie was my best friend in Nursing School.  We also were in the Dixie Debs together.  Julie was the kindest person...always.  I remember I was offered a job with an allergist in 1980 and was about to move to Phoenix, Az.  I called Julie and she took the job and worked for him for many years. I still have a couple of bowls Julie gave me for my birthday.  They remind me of her friendship every time I look at them.  Life got busy, working, having children, moving up the corporate ladder... we lost touch but.....friendship hearts never die.  This website has just served as a reminder that life is really short.  Live, love and remember to stay in touch with those who were special to you.  RIP Julie.  Love you girl.

Heartfelt sympathy to Bill and family.  Julie's kind and gentle spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew her.  I was lucky to have known her through not only high school but nursing school.  Rest in peace precious child of God!
