So sorry to hear this. Sending our sympathy and prayers to the Klein and Ohl families.
Julie was a sister-in-law to my late wife Judy and me. She was a very kind, caring, loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Goodnight, and Godspeed Julie, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us, and the memories. My deepest sympathies to Julie’s family, friends and loved ones.
We saw Julie’s obituary in the Wichita Eagle. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We remember going to your wedding in Conway Springs. We hope you are keeping well. Rodger and Melba Maechtlen
When I first really got to know Julie, my sister-in-law, it was when I went to Kansas City to help out when Herb and Julie had Catherine. I’m not sure how much help I was as I was 16 and away from home for the first time. She was tolerant of my immaturity and inability to wash the clothes at the laundromat as I had soap pouring out the front of the front load washer. Not a pretty sight! Also leaving soap on the dishes after washing them didn’t make food taste very well either but she AND Herb took it in stride and loved me anyway. Whenever Jim and I went to stay in Wichita with them we felt like we were in a five star hotel, she really cared. We thanked them profusely but Herb said it was always Julie that put that much effort in making us feel at home.One other thing I loved Julie for was when I gave the women in the family a SMALL Christmas cactus for Christmas all the others looked at each other and laughed but not Julie. She put the cactus in a star place in the house, watered and nurtured it and if you’ve ever been to their house you would have seen this huge beautiful plant that little Christmas cactus turned in to. I don’t go back to Wichita very often but when I do it will be a sad visit to not see Julie there. I am so sorry for everyone’s loss. Karen
