We will miss Julie at the Kemp library, we were always happy to see Julie. She had such a big heart, and was interested in everyone.

During her treatments some 15 years ago, I had the pleasure of spending time with Julie in water aerobics classes at Health Place. Positioned in the back of the class, she pushed her exercise routine during her treatments with extraordinary and admirable determination. She was truly uplifting and an inspiration to all who met her. Always a positive attitude and smile on her face, Julie was a blessing to know. To her family who I had an opportunity to meet at an anniversary party Julie planned for her parents, may your heart’s memory of Julie always make you smile.
