Oh Julia, you were an awesome coworker at Laurie’s. Always willing to come and chat with me and make the day so much brighter with your laugh and smile.
I so much enjoyed my visits with you and collecting the bird series ornaments from Hallmark. You always enjoyed your birds.
I was hoping to see you soon on my trip home, but God called you home first.
Rest easy my friend. I’ll miss you.
My condolences to Julia’s family
