Joel, etal.
Just got the word of your Mother's passing. I mirror Karen's comment on our appreciation for her help during our time of need a few years back.
Your mother was a vibrant person and I'm sure would want to be remembered that way by all. So on her behalf my I say - "Rock on!"

Julie and Joel: I was so sad to hear from Mother about "JuJu". I remember the last time I saw her just before I moved Mom to Austin. She in her usual fashion took control and drove me to the airport in her big black Lincoln. I will forever be indebted to her for taking care of Mom when she had the stroke before Dave and I could get there. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear precious,friend, Judy. What a wonderful picture in the paper. I was surprised because you never looked 90 years. I know your youthful, smiling face and heart go on - happy and joyful. I'm so glad I recently wrote you to let you know I was thinking of you. I'll continue doing so, knowing you find life's adventure on-going and fun. Much love, Dolores

Joel, Julie and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I came to realize, after my Father passed away just three months before his 90th birthday, how blessed I was to have him with me for so long. God bless JuJu. She lived a meaningful and faithful life. So full of love that you can cherish forever
Sincerely,
Gilbert and Pam

My prayers are with "JuJu" and her family. I have fond memories with her when I visted her house with "Julia" Kelle Mills in the early 80's. Rest in peace and God be with you now and forevermore.

Dear Friends, Just got the email from Tori about JuJu. What a gem she was and will always be remembered by my entire family. We were blessed to have known her. I am leaving for New York tomorrow, but know that my family will be thinking of you all in the coming days.
My best to everyone....
Love, Anne
