Life is a precious thing. Julia will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to her family and friends at this time.
Heaven has gained another angel…i was so sorry to here of Julia’s passing…very fond memories of Julia as my art student at ACS….a girl of many talents. She always brought smiles into the room…Prayers and hugs to you Mary Jo and the girls and the rest of family and friends. Her spirit will always be with us…
You have my deepest sympathy for your loss and my heart goes out to your entire family. One day death will be undone and you will embrace Julia again under better conditions. Acts 24:15 & Psalms 37:11,29. I hope these words will bring you a measure of comfort in this difficult time. Wishing you peace at this time.
we never met Julia but our church prayed weekly (and daily) for her. now she is free of pain but her family and friends have pain. BUT someday (hopefully soon) you will see her in the rapture and we will get to know her.,, life will be hard in the coming days and months but know each day brings us closer to our precious children (and others) who are in heaven, when we see Christ !!!! Stay true to HIM,,,,
