For Julie’s family – Our sympathy to you all. I just learned about Julie’s death, and am so sad. Julie and I were old friends. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and I got to spend about 3 weeks with her – when we went to Europe on a music tour. I sang at her wedding, she was there for me when our youngest child was flown to Minneapolis, and when I had a hard time during some of his procedures – she was there, supporting and just being there. How I wish I could of been there for her. I will remember her smile, her beautiful brown eyes, and her laughter. The pain and sorrows you had Julie, are over now, I hope you are laughing and rejoicing in heaven. You are missed.

Cody and Megan,
On behalf of myself and my 3 kids….Julia, Jared and Jenna, we are all shocked to hear of your mom’s passing. We have such wonderful memories of all 5 of you kids growning up next door to each other. The sleepovers, ball games and barbies are clear in my memory. Your mom was one of the sweetest people I’ve ever known and was a wonderful mom. She loved you both so much. I don’t know if you remember this but your mom sang at my wedding and it was beautiful and I think of her everytime I hear that song on the radio. My deepest sympathies are with you both and the rest of your family.
We are very sorry to hear of Julie’s passing. She was a fun lady. We still remember the good times at the baseball field. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

My deepest sympathy to Julie’s family. I’m also glad I got the chance to visit with Julie and reconnect a couple years ago at the Fordville Reunion. Time has gone so fast, just like Mr. Dryburgh always told us it would. So enjoy the memories and the chances we get to visit. I also always felt welcome at the Aafedt home. And there was also something to laugh about. Truely cherish my thoughts of Julie.

I was so sad to hear that Julie has passed. We were great friends back in the high school days. We had so much fun together. I spent lots of times at the AAfedt house and always felt welcome. Even though I lost touch with Julie (time has a way of doing that) I thought of her often. Loved her infectious laugh! Julie, may you rest in peace. My prayers and sympathy go out to you.
