Julie's smile lit up my math classroom every day of the year. She was a very special young lady in high school and I am sure blessed many more throughout her life. May you find peace through the memories.

Though we did not know Julie personally, it was our privilege to join her family and friends in prayer through her battle with cancer. She was a beautiful lady and a brave and courageous fighter. We will continue to pray for those who are grief-stricken: that they will yield their grieving hearts to our good Father who has promised peace and comfort, and will faithfully deliver.

My heart is broken but I am still in awe of your grace, bravery, and unwavering faith during your fight. So thankful peace is found in knowing we will see each other again! Jonathan you were the best thing that ever happened to her and trust me she loved you so much! Thank you for showing us all what unconditional love looks like! RIP my sweet friend.
