Elaine and your entire family, I am just now hearing of your Mom’s passing, and am still in shock. Julie felt comfortable sharing her health struggles with me, and it was always my humbling honor to pray for her. May you find comfort in the love and prayers of others. May Julie’s soul Rest In Peace.

I had the pleasure of working with Julie on many projects and issues throughout the years.  She was a strong advocate yet always remained professional and courteous.  Her positions were well-thought out and principled but she was always willing to listen to the other side.  I enjoyed working with her and always walked away better informed.  
She will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers to her friends and family.

I met Julie while living in Condos off of Sharp Road . That was a unforgettable time in my life .  We gathered in the small courtyard on weekends and shared life's stories and  occasionally shared some good food.  Julie was always smiling with a very positive attitude . Just what I needed at that time.  
    I was truly saddened to hear of her passing . God has brought an Angel home to Heaven . Julie , you were a great inspiration to me and everyone around you. May you RIP knowing that you have brought kindness and love to many. 

My husband, Terry, and I offer our sincerest condolences to Julie's family. 

As Julie's former Professor, I truly enjoyed having her in my class as she was always eager to learn and to engage in thorough discussions. My husband knew her on a different level as a staunch advocate often conversing with her at the Capitol.  We both have extremely fond memories of Julie and she will be truly missed in numerous settings. 

Psalm 34:18 states, "the LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." We are praying for strength during this time. 

This has been the longest Week for me. My heart is full of memories of being your organist sideline. I retired, but you were there to carry the torch!
Tears are diamonds for how much you have impacted my life of the treasure of musical masterpieces we have shared..
I have 1 question to ask God. Why?
You had a future of using your legal expertise to help those that your heart was led to for rightful representation.
Julie, You have been a treasured friend, and one dependable for.
Love,
Kristina Murphy

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Julie only on distant bridge games and Facebook messages. She was a sweet and gentle woman. From Louisiana to Maine she often sent me candy at Christmas. I loved seeing photos of her grandchildren. May her memory be a blessing to you all.

The Rapides federation of  teachers would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family. You will be in our prayers

Marie, I am so sorry to learn of Julie's passing.  I had the great fortune to meet her recently and share lunch with her.  I learned about her many, many involvements in her adult life, and I was, and am, in awe of her many accomplishments, and her commitment to service for the better good.  Thank you for connecting us.  She and I were planning to have lunch again when she returned from Germany.  And then today I saw the announcement of her death on Facebook.  I am in shock, and so very sad.  The Light shown through her.  I feel so fortunate to have met her, just once.  The world is a better place because she was in it.  May she rest in peace.  May God give comfort to all who mourn her.

My Deepest Sympathy to all of Julie's family and friends. I have known Julie for 15 years.  Julie will be missed by all. May God bless you during this time.

Ms. Julie was such a beautiful soul and a very talented musician. She helped our youth band at St John the Baptist Catholic Church in Brusly for many years.  She was very giving with her time and talents. She will be greatly missed!
