Hanson Family,
I often think about Julie and our time we spent together. She would always get her coffee treat for the week and we would chat for the few hours while I did her hair. I always looked forward to seeing Julie. Her beautiful smile and to hear her talk about her grand kids was always a treat for me. She was graceful, kind hearted and always a wonderful person to be around her. I will miss her and the time we spent together! Larry, You and Julie were beautiful together. I pray for peace in your heart and faith in knowing she is dancing with Jesus now and not in pain or heartache anymore. She will never be forgotten in my heart! All my love, Ashley
