So sorry to hear this sad news. Julie was my first friend and neighbor when we moved in next door to each other. We had such fun together whether having a glass of wine, or going to hear jazz, see plays, dinner, Julie was game! Both Julie and Jim were wonderful people, I'm so fortunate to have had them in my life💞

Julie was my Business English professor at HCC back in 1980 and nominated me for a fully-paid scholarship from the Legal Secretaries Association Of America, which I received. We became personal friends and it lasted a lifetime. I miss her so much. RIP Julie. 🙁
