Condolences to the Family

May 09, 2022

Aunt Julia was a giving person who dearly loved her family. Fond memories of all the get together she arranged for all of us. I was named after her, and my daughter as well. Faith, family, friendship and service seem to be words that come to mind when it comes to her legacy. She did it all with the greatest of love. She overcame obstacles with a grace to rise above. Her intentions always well meaning. ‘For you have been called to live in freedom, but do not use your freedom to satisfy yourself. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.’ Galatians 5:13 My condolences to cousins George & Joyce, Dave & Marina and their families. As well as Gary & Linda and Vickie. God bless.

We were so sorry to hear of Julia’s passing . She was a young at heart, beautiful woman  who was always willing to share some cooking advice and set us straight on “never rinsing the cooked pasta” !!!  She and my dad shared a  great friendship as they both adjusted to having lost their spouses  and we so enjoyed her company.   Our prayers and best to her family .

Julia was a very special friend . We had many good times at our mutual family gatherings sharing meals and singing along with Benny & Mary.  We always laughed at how our trips to Costco to pick up prescriptions always ended with a free lunch as we worked our way through the samples. Prayers and deepest regards for your loss.
