Heidi and family, I’m so sorry to hear about Julie. She was so wonderful! I loved Julie’s personnality and sense of humor. We had countless laughs. She used to get mad at me at the Lakeshore when there would be a party or something we were planning and I would automatically sign her up to make tatertot casserole. I wouldn’t even ask her I would just sign her up! I regret not keeping in touch with her. My prayers are with your family.
