I have so so many wonderful memories of Ms. Julie. I met her through our church at New Beginnings. Mr. Buzz and my dad had been friends many many years before I met them. One of my most fondest and favorite memories was going to the E-Women conferences in Pensacola. We laughed so hard at all our shenanigans after the conferences. I will see you again precious lady. Condolences to your family. Much love

Julie and I were never close. But what I’m reading on all the messages sounds like she was just a wonderful person. What I’ve seen on Facebook it seems like you all were really a loving part of the family. I’m sending hugs and love to her in heaven. Hopefully someday we’ll be together. God bless you

I know we never were close but I wish we had. After reading all the remarks on here about how wonderfully sweet you were and what a loving person I know I missed out a lot. I know you’re in heaven and I send all my prayers up there to you and hopefully someday we’ll be together. God bless
