Sorry we didn't know until Sat night of your loss. She was a Great Lady! We would go to R.C. on Wed. for lunch with Joe and Lorraine, loved when she would join us. Some great stories, and we enjoyed all of them! Dave and Donna Lee Bock

I’m sorry to hear of Julia’s passing. I always enjoyed her warmth and wonderful sense of humor. She always made me and others feel welcome from the very first time I met her as a shaggy haired college visiting the mad and exotic Camp Douglas home😄 until the final time we met, I have fond memories of our times together. She lived a long life and will be remembered fondly. With deepest sympathy, Bill Tefft
