So sorry to hear of the loss of your Loving Mother. You know where she is so I hope you are safe and doing well in the fact you will see her again. Much Love, James
We are saddened to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Her home going is sad because she will be missed, but what a joyous day her first day in Heaven. She is happier than she’s ever been without troubles of this life. She was the absolute best babysitter to my Benjamin. And I could always trust that he would be taught what was right and good. I loved Julie and am so very thankful that we will meet again on Heaven’s bright shore. My love to the family
