I’ve always admired and looked up to Julie - a beautiful person inside and out. I met her when I was in high school. I remember her telling me that in her youth she used a sowing pin to separate each of her eyelashes before a date. To me this became a symbol for putting in the effort and I held on to it for so many years. Any time I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to put in the effort, whether for work, life, or a date, I thought of this beautiful young woman separating intricately each eyelash to look her best. She will be so missed, and I’ll keep remembering her any time that I want to throw in the towel 🩷

My friend Julie.
So sorry she left before I could
eee her again.
Her years at Montpelier were
obvious if you match wits with her.
If you wanted to know the truth
About a situation involving several
Characters ,her rendition is the one
I trusted most,as I knew it would be bias-free,an extremely rare quality.
With perseverance her three son’s brains were well fed and exercised.
SHE’s in good hands now.
My heart goes out to my good friends
Mike and Bobby.🙏

Julie❤️. I met Julie in college in Toronto.. We connected deeply and became good friends..We had a few things in common ; we were both born outside Canada; 1st born children of immigrant parents living between two worlds -the world of our parents and upbringing and the new exciting world of being a young person in Canada with the freedom and promise of exciting opportunities.. I loved our time together - Julie was kind; generous:; not to mention gorgeous to look at. She was a few years older than me and her natural instinct was to look after me - she introduced me to all her friends in Toronto ( I was new in Toronto recently moved from a small town in Ontario). My memory of this beautiful strong;; multi layered woman has been ignited again as I heard of her passing. I mourn for her..-the light that was Julie . The world lost a bright soul- and yet I also feel peace - I feel she's free flying around on the other side shining her light- and watching over her boys. Robert and Mikey. Fly Julie💖💖💖.
