Dear Joe, I have no words to express my sorrow at the loss of beautiful Julie!! I have so many fond memories of our time together at Dominion and then at each others homes. Dancing in the kitchen and eating granny's cookies. I had the pleasure of having Julie as a bridesmaid on our wedding day. I cannot believe she is gone. She was such a sweet, amazing friend. I am so sorry for yours and your beautiful family's loss. Thinking of all of you. 💔💔💔💔

Dear Joe, I was shocked to hear about the passing of Julie today! I ran into her a few years ago and we talked then about getting together sometime. I regret we didn’t set up a time. I have such fond memories of our working together in university at Dominion on York St and our adventures outside of work and time at her mother’s apartment on Dundas street. So much fun!! Julie was a sweet gentle soul. She will we missed I am sure by many and filled with so many wonderful memories of her. May you cherish your memories of her always and wishing you and the family peace through a difficult time.

Dear Joe and family, Please accept my condolences. Like so many fortunate people, I had the pleasure of working with Julie for many years. She was a kind and generous person who was a wonderful mentor, colleague, and friend. I loved to hear updates about the family and about her trips with Joe to Mexico. I will miss our visits to the beach and our shopping trips to Stratford. Julie had such a fabulous fashion sense! My heart goes out to all of you.

May you take comfort in her memories.
