Dear Mariah, Sean, Aaron and family, your mom was the very best person I ever knew. She lived, loved and laughed deeply, and was extremely proud of you. I know you’ll continue to make her proud as she watches over you, that you’ll take good care of each other like she taught you, and that you’ll find the inspiration to be everything you can be… because she wants you to. With all my heart, Sherry

I miss you and I love you.

I have many fond memories from living in Sunset Park while in High School in the late 70’s and Julia was one of my close friends. There was Debbie, Beth, Lori, Laurie, Julia, Heidi and myself that would hang out either at AW or on the swings near the ball field. It has been many years since I had seen her, but I had thought of her often. My deepest sympathy to her family.

So sorry to hear of Julia’s passing. She was one of the first to welcome me and my family to the neighborhood when we moved there in the late 70s. She always had room in her heart for new friends and I am lucky to have known her. The few times I made it back to Maine always included a stop by to visit. She always made time to share a laugh and reminice about back when. My thoughts are with you. Margie Brown Ouellette
