Tributes
"Julie and Doug were the best neighbors ever. I am so so saddened by her passing. I also had the privilege of working with her at the YMCA. She was so dedicated and such a hard worker. She was a beautiful gardener and I feel blessed that she shared both her roses and raspberry bushes with me. I will think of her every year that they bloom. We were both crazy animal lovers and shared many stories about the love we had for our critters. ?? Julie will always have a piece of my heart! May she be at peace. Julie Shaw"
"Uncle Jake and family my thoughts and prayers are with you though this difficult time. I will miss hearing Aunt Julie saying to me \"See you later kiddo.\" I remember when I was a kid our walks up on Hearts Hill picking apples and just looking at nature. R.I.P. Aunt Julie and fly high with the angels. Say hi to grandma and grandpa. Watch over your family until we meet again in God\'s kingdom."
