We were not able to go to the Valley green because it was very crowded, and we couldn't park.

Will have a get together at spot in Valley green at 1 PM today to remember Julie on her birthday followed by lunch. All invited.

Miss your smile

WOW It doesn't seem like it has been 3 years since Julie dies. Rest in peace. We had a tribute Mass at St Bridget Church on Sunday at the 9 AM mass.

I actually thought of her last week when I heard Pink on the radio. I miss her dearly

still miss Julie and all the wonderful things (smile, fashion, love to dance and sing, etc..) about her. Again, thanks for all your comments.

Miss your smile Julie

I am completely devastated to learn of Julie’s passing…. I am so sorry for not being available during this time for Franz and Guy. Blessings to you both.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I am thinking about Julie today, along with all of her friends at Center for Creative works. We miss her deeply, but we are celebrating her birthday by remembering all of the funny memories we got to share.

To Kathleen, Franz, and Allison, just know you are still a part of our community and we hope to see you again soon. 

Thanks to all who paid tribute to Julie "The Superstar". She is greatly missed by me and the family. She is also greatly missed by her friends on 63rd St., Camp Hill Special School, The Lukas Community, Vernon House Apartments, and St Bridget Church. Thanks again

I worked with Julie and her mother, and felt very connected to them both. Julie was so vibrant and funny. At times, I remember Julie would struggle with feeling insecure, but she loved people and wanted her personal connections to be meaningful and lasting. Around this time last year ago, Julie and I had worked on saying affirmations to comfort herself in moments of self-doubt. These were her words to herself;

Julie, you deserve to be happy with your friends that care about you.
Julie, you are allowed to let go of this chapter of your life. You can close the book, and bury it with dirt.
Julie, you are a different person now than you were before.

When I found out Julie liked birds we were instantly connected. Through that connection I did get to know Julie better. Julie liked the cedar waxwing, these are yellow birds that have very expressive eye markings. They are bold looking birds.

Like those birds, Julie was a bold and passionate woman who expressed herself that way. She cared deeply for others and always made you feel like you were the most important person to her at that moment. Julie listened to people.

Julie also had an incredibly unique voice :) and unique perspective. I remember Julie getting really excited over the turquoise blue color of my water bottle, this passion for color probably was why she always wanted everyone else to brighten themselves up! I will always appreciate Julies blue hair, bold personality, passion and kindness.

Julie was a student at the Camphill School in the late 80s and 90s.
As a child, Julie was full of energy and mischief...
She loved to dance and sing; and run and swing. She had her favorite swing on the school campus and she would run out to that swing at all times of the day and night and in the early morning hours. (We didn't get much sleep in those days!) We rigged up every door in our house with jingle bells and whistles and buzzers. Julie looked at them all, then said: “I don’t think it will work, but I appreciate the effort!!”
As a teenager, Julie loved boys and romance and Britney Spears and Michael Jackson. She loved fashion, glamour, dressing up and painting her nails. She once said to the lady running our house: “I think you should dye your hair and put on some make-up and cheer the house up a bit!!”
Rest in peace, dear Julie. You made us all laugh and kept us all on our toes. My daughter, Lucy, says: all the best Beaver Run stories are about you!
Sending love to Julie’s parents, Kathleen and Franz, and Julie’s sister, Allison.
From Ginny, Julie's dormitory parent for two years.

Carl and I will remember Julie for her kindness and beautiful way with life. She always had a smile to share.

I am devastated to hear of Julie’s passing ❤️ Words can’t possibly capture her wonderful personality. I loved talking with Julie over zoom this past year and hearing about strawberry shortcake, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, birds, and fashion. I’m so sad we won’t get to have our fashion show or make that remake of The Man in the Moon. Talking with Julie always made me feel like making art! We’ll remember you forever, Julie! You’re a star! Much love to your family.

Julie was a superstar and shared that energy wherever she was. I will never forget the way she could shake her hips to a Britney or Spice Girls song and the pure fun she brought to everyone around her in those moments.

I worked with Julie at CCW, we worked on a lot of sewing and fabric arts together, her art was always so vibrant just like her. She was so talented! watching her sing and dance to the songs she wrote was always so fun. She always talked about her family and asked about her friends, she really was so caring. I loved when Julie would walk in the center and say hello to everyone.  I feel so blessed to have known Julie. she truly was light and joy. <3

Kathleen, Franz, & Allison - I’m so sorry for your loss. Julie looks as cheerful in these pictures as she did in her conversations about Michael Jackson 20 years ago. I’m going to have my eye out for a snowy owl. I’m sad with you. 
Love,
Karla

I'll miss our talks about our love for concerts, the show Laguna Beach, Joan Jett's version of "Crimson & Clover" & dealing with the angst of unrequited love. She was always kind & asked about my dog. Someone posted photos I took of Julie performing a few summers ago & anyone who was there saw how she was a born star. That was a great day.
