It was my great pleasure to know Julia so many years ago in high school. She was an individual of remarkable grace and gentleness. I’m not sure that I ever heard her utter an unkind word about anyone. She truly was a good friend to all those who knew her. How sad that she passed away at such a young age. I apologize for taking so long to write this.
