Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
One of the fondest memories I have of Julie is the two of us sitting in my Grandma and Grandpa Green’s front room eating twinkies and watching General Hospital with my Grandma. Julie and I had our own little kid-sized rocking chairs. And, now that I think back, I am sure Grandma gave us the twinkies so we wouldn’t talk through her show (and we happily obliged gobbling up those twinkies!). It was just common to go over to Grandma and Grandpa’s and play with Julie. She is a part of the family. And, while she and I lost touch after her family moved away from Ash street, Julie will always remain a very essential part of my childhood. p.s. I am sure Shawn doesn’t remember this (because he is MUCH OLDER than Julie and I) — but we used to tease him so he would chase us…we would screech and run like two crazies. I am sure that Julie continued to torture him (as a sister should) even after I went home. HAHAHAHAHAH
Karen- My heart is deeply saddend upon hearing of Julie’s passing. You are in my every thought and prayer. May the peace of the Lord be with you in your time of grief.
