Juli was a wonderful person! It was delighted to know her. She could warm a room and a chilly swimming pool with her radiant smile.

I knew Julie and Pat from Our Club. We were in the same aquatics class for MANY years. She was a darling lady who I admired greatly and thoroughly enjoyed being in her company. Marge and I were just talking about contacting for our Christmas Party. She will be missed.
