Dear Family,

I met Julia when we hired her in our Budget area. Her work certainly impressed me, but more than that, her concern and continuing efforts to help her grandchildren have the best life they could. She exemplified true love, devotion and sacrifice for her grandchildren and her children - to me, she "walked the walk". Frances Dreps

To the family of Julia Wilkerson I wish to relay this message. Julia was a lifelong neighbor and friend to me and my family. I was Janice Dickerson and my parents' farm adjoined Judy's family. She was the same age as my sister Brenda and they went to school together. Though years passed and our families went in different directions our common ties to each other remained. In recent years at the death of our mother, Judy reached out to our family with caring thoughts, compassion, and concern. Over the past year as I faced uncertainties with my own health, again she reached out with caring thoughts, compassion,concern and above all SUPPORT and encouragement as I faced what I was going through.  What I regret now is that, like so often happens, my busy life did not allow me a moment to reach out to her in those last days to offer her the same. As the saying goes..."Don't put off to tomorrow what you should do today". I send my heartfelt condolences to all of Judy's family...especially Eugene whom my mother always fondly remembered for the times he helped clear her driveway when it needed it due to bad weather. May the sadness of this difficult time soon be replaced with just the sweet memories of her life and your times together.
