Thinking of you and Ella is one thought, as you were inseparable. To Ella and the rest of your family my deepest sympathy. We will remember how you could not avoid the sweets while you were pregnant, but never liked sweets before of after Ella was born.

Our prayers for her parents and her daughter. Nothing can be more life changing that a life lost so early. No matter the age the loss of a child is tragic and words cannot describe the pain. I can only imagine the pain her daughter feels over this loss. I worked with Julie on a few cases from UF Health psych unit. She was passionate about her service to others. Blessings to the family and Ella.

I knew Julie from her wonderful work at UF Shands. She was a great advocate for her patients and had a genuine charm and deep capacity for respect and care for all she met. I haven't seen her in several years due to a job change, but can't forget her beautiful smile and kind ways. My condolences to her family.
