I would like to express my most sincere condolences to you and your family in the loss of beautiful Julie. I never really had the opportunity to know her well, but she was always in my prayers. All of you have been very strong, and her loss will be felt by you. But, know in your heart that you gave her everything that parents and family could give and that she will be remembered for the loving child that she was.
My sympathies and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.

Lochary Family,
With a heavy heart & tears of knowing Julie has graduated on to heaven before us, I just wanted you all to know that I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet & precious daughter. I never knew her birthday was the 6th of March as mine is the 5th, lastly....that day at GPC when I asked Julie for a hug, I'll never forget as she hesitated for a moment & then gave me the biggest bear hug she could with every muscle she could. That hug spoke volumes to me as I'll never forget that in spite of what she was going through, she still found it within herself to hug me with all the love she had! Blessings, Steve

Trying to find the right words is most difficult. We can only envision angels coming to greet Julie at the gates of heaven. That is the only possible way of finding comfort at this time. Julie,her family and friends are in our hearts and in our prayers and always will be.

No words can express our sympathy for Julie's family. May you find comfort in God, and may He wrap his arms around you and help to heal your hearts. Julie was an inspiration to those she met, and will live on in those whose hearts she touched. Now she is with Jesus, with no pain and no suffering, continuing to show her spirit of joy to others.
