Julie...such a dear friend...I miss her everyday!

You come to my mind often...in my heart always. So many memories...some quite difficult, of concern and sadness, but more were of encouragement and happiness. Remembering the support+bonding, connection made from long talks...get-togethers thru mtgs+events, texts, phn calls, brunches, nites'out, trips...sometimes tears, mostly laughter and silliness too...nearly always lots of hot 🍵 tea w/the lil packets! A friendship enjoyed, respected, cherished/loved...now missed, remembered+always w/me. 

I just learned of the news of Julie's passing. I knew Julie (and Will) in college.  She was a real nice person, very pleasant, and always had something nice to say.  I will miss her.  My deepest condolenses to the Wilcox family.  We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.

I just found out today, Julie. Ive thought about you so often these past 3 years and was always hoping you were doing well and I can see that you were, You were always smiling, positive and strong. Such an amazing example for breast cacer patients fighting for there lives, a true hero. I worked with you for only short time but, knew that you were such a loving special human being. I loved painting for you and knowing you. You made an impression on so many lives. I thought so much of you, I know your in a better place than all of us and you deserve it. I know your boys will carry on your strength and wonderful positive loving spirit.  Maria Augustyniak (york, pa)

I only met Julie once but during that brief encounter I knew she was a bright light that will shine forever.  I am sorry for the loss of your daughter and friend.  I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Barbara Messing

Everyone loved Julie and it was no wonder - she made you feel special and her smile could light up a room.  We miss her very much.  Our prayers are for Will, Liam, Cal, Rosa and the rest of the family.

I love Julie and have fond memories of our times at SMC together.   What an optimistic and joyful person.  I feel fortunate to have known Julie.  Peace be with you.

I remember, while going through a hard time in college, Julie being the one who took notice, and then, took the time and initiative to talk and show me the light in the situation. I imagine she helped may others find their way through some rough spots. She was sensitive, intuitive, and filled with sincerity. Her smile and energy were infectious.  A beautiful beautiful person.

Rosa, Will, Liam and Cal - much love and many prayers from our family to all of you at this time. We are so thankful for the years that Julie did have on this earth to share her beautiful smile and infectious enthusiasm.

Ms. Rosa, Mom and I send our prayers to you and Julie's family at this time. I think often of the times in the FHS health suite, Stephanie posted a picture to facebook a few weeks ago  of all the aides and you from 1985 and it made me smile. I remember how proud you were when you often spoke of Julie.  Our prayers are with you and know how many lives you touch and those that Julie touched and made better because.

We are somewhat comforted that every time we close our eyes and think of Julie, her beautiful, smiling face and infectious laugh fill our thoughts without fail.  As difficult as it is to lose her, she will never be forgotten and all of us who know her are better people for it who have witnessed the art of kindness, selflessness, joyfulness, perseverance, and purpose. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.  Thank you Julie for sharing so much of yourself and showing us how to live life to its fullest.  We will forever be inspired by how you demonstrated such unending grace, strength, and courage under circumstances we cannot even fathom.  We love you and will miss you.

Julie has been in our thoughts and prayers. She will never be forgotten. She touched our lives as a young teen and her sweetness and infectious smile has been in our memories of the class of 1987 Fallston High School. God be with her Mom Rosa and her loving family..........The O'Briens

Julie was always a bright ray of sunshine and a genuinely sweet person and that is how I will always remember her.  My thoughts go out to the entire family.

Will, Liam, Callum,and family,

Tears of sadness overwhelmed me this morning as I grieved the loss of Julie, a compassionate mother, a devoted wife, a best friend, an angel to everyone she met.   Julie was one of my closest friends since Fallston HS and the Wilcox family has always been a true blessing to me.  My friendship with Julie taught me how to smile, laugh and cherish every moment.  May our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ show his unfailing love and strength to you all. Know that Julie's wonderful spirit lives on through the love she show me and everyone else she knew.

The Jarvis Family

Julie was an ever-present ray of sunshine and love. A light always shined through her when I was in her presence. She made everyone else feel loved and special. Her legacy will live on forever. Julie lived, loved, laughed and enjoyed much in her life here.

Julie was always a welcomed guest at our frequently crowded and chaotic household during my children's teen years.  She wore her engaging and beautiful smile, that brought out the best in everyone, including "teenagers'. She truly knew the definition of friendship and love.  I'm so grateful that she has been a part of my daughter's life, and know that she will continue to be our special angel.     Mary Benisch Harkins

Julie was a great friend to me at St. Mary's and will definitely be missed.  She always had a smile and was so kind to all.  I will always cherish the memories I have of her from the days at college.  My thoughts and prayers are with Will and the children and all of the family as well.

I had the great privilege to speak with Julie on occasion.  She was so friendly, open and easy to talk to. I came away from those conversations feeling lifted and inspired.  Not only did she have a gift, she was a gift. My sincere sympathies go out to those who love her.  She will not be forgotten.

I will forever remember Julie's bright smile and warm and gentle spirit.  I pray for comfort for all those who were blessed enough to know her.

My deepest condolences go out to the entire family.  Callum and Liam continue to make your mother proud, now she will see everything that you do.  Growing into fine young men will be a lasting and fitting tribute to your mother, God bless.

 To the Wilcox Family,
      My deepest sympathy for your loss. 
                  Sincerely, Brad Hartsoe.

I have never met a more positive and happy person than Julie. I will miss her smiling face and her kind words. May you rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers to Liam, Cal and Wil.

Julie was an all star in every role she was in--mother wife daughter and especially in the survivor role-- she handled this role that she never asked for with more grace than anyone I have ever seen. Her warmness was contagious along with her smile.  She will be greatly missed and many prayers go out to the family and all she has touched.

I know everybody in heaven is enjoying the wonderful chuckle and smile you brought with you everyday.

Julie I will never forget your warm hugs and beautiful smile. You were always so positive and pleasent sometimes I would forget how sick you were. You were always finding the good side of people and the brightside of a situation, you were a joy to be around. Thank you for always being so welcoming to me and my family when we moved to Fallston. I pray for your Mom, Will, Cal & Liam I can't imagine the loss they feel today. I will pray for all of the close friends that you have, you will be missed Julie. May you rest in peace.

I will always cherish the memories I have of Julie and I send my condolences to her family and friends. One of the nicest souls I've ever known...

Julie was the kind of young lady all mothers and fathers desire for their sons.  Loving, happy, always smiling and remarkable.  The Wilcox's soon found that out.  Julie left them with a love too bountiful to put into words.
Will, Cal and Liam, you now have an angel looking over you with her love for you forever.  God Bless You.

Jerry and Julia

Julie - You spoke with me on the phone when I was just dx'd.  I don't know what I would have done without your friendship and support that year. Sincere condolences to your family. Heaven just got more enticing!  You fought valiently. xox Olivia  PS.. I hope this candle helps light your way!

We will always remember Julie. She was an amazing woman. She will be greatly missed. She touched so many lives.

So very sorry to learn of Julie's passing. My sincerest condolences to her family, especially to her wonderful mother, Rosa.

It is shocking to think of a world without Julie in it.  Somehow I just kept hoping that in the end she would make a recovery and go back to her old bubbly and smiley self.  I cannot think of the right words to accurately describe what a great friend Julie was.  When you were with her, she just made you feel a little bit happier.  She took care of everyone she met.  We will really miss her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of loss.  May the God of all comfort bring comfort to your sorrowing hearts and may the hope we have in Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord, give you peace as we entrust Julie into His loving care.  Keeping you all close to our hearts!

Julie's passion for life was infectious and a reflection of her amazing spirit. We are honored to have shared many fun times with her and her family. We will miss her and send our thoughts and prayers to all who loved her. The Pellegrini Family.

I am so sorry to hear that Julie has gone from this earth. The joy is that she is with Jesus. She was a beacon of light and such a positive, loving person. I will never forget her gorgeous smile and sweet voice. I enjoyed the time we spent together at SMC and am very aware that this world has lost a precious woman who fought to live until the end. My prayers go out to Will, Rosa, and all of her family - God be with you in your time of sadness. Sincerely, Jill Mathaney

My deepest sympathy to the Wilcox family and Rosa and her family.  It is truly difficult to lose someone you love and cherish so much.  The only comfort is that God, is His infinite love and wisdom, will eventually make your grief a little easier.  I know our family can identify and feel the pain you are in and Julie and you all will be in our prayers. 

Joe Norris (formerly of Falllston)

Julie was an inspiration to everyone and I will miss her beautiful smiling face during her visits to Youth's Benefit.  Her hugs were the best! I met Julie when Liam and Colin played Clinic Soccer together - God blessed me that day with such a special person to know and love. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

I did not know Julie well, but in the little bit of time we spent together, I knew what a special person she was.  She was a true inspiration to many.  My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.

Julie was an angel on earth and is continuing her work in heaven.  Keeping Rosa and the Wilcox Family in our thoughts and prayers.  Yvonne and John Marshall

Dear Mrs. Hubbard, 
My name is Kim Casper and I was your assistant in 1981 at FHS.  My sister Kelly graduated with Julie and called me with this terrible news. I can only hope that your dear memories will help you through this difficult time. Also, our family does the Relay for Life cancer walk each year in our community and Julie will be honored. You're in my prayers. 
Sincere Regards-
Kim Casper

We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Julie was such a great person and will be deeply missed. I have alot of fond memories of Julie and she always had a smile on her face. My thoughts and prayers are with Ms. Rosa , Julie's husband and kids as well as the rest of her family.  She will forever live in our hearts.....

Julie was my partner for sailing class at St. Mary's. We had a blast trying to outrun other boats, going way too fast for our meager sailing skills and flipping our boat way too often. A really sweet, fun girl; always smiling. My condolences to Will and the rest of your family.
-Rich Bickers (Columbia, MD)

What a truly special person Julie was. Kind

I have wonderful memories of my friendship with Julie at SMC on 3rd Right PG.  She was a kind, funny, vivacious girl.  I can still hear her endearing laugh.  I lift up her family in prayer.

I haven't seen Julie since college, but I've never forgotten how sweet she was or her ever-present smile. RIP Julie.

Julie was one of the first people to extend her hand in friendship to me when I came to this country from Africa. She was so sweet and loving, and I loved her dearly. Spending a full day with her last summer was one of the highlights of my year, and I will miss her more than words can say. My heart goes out to her family at this time.

I was sad to hear the passing of my friend this morning. She fought so hard and for so long. I was in awe of her dignity and grace and her tremendous strength ....she will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Julie was one of the first people to extend her hand in friendship to me when I came to this country from Africa, alone, uncertain, and terribly homesick. She was so sweet, and so loving, and I loved her dearly. My deepest condolences to her family, especially Will and the boys, and her mom.

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers as you travel through the days ahead.  May you find strength in your many friends to help bring you peace.  Liam and Cal, I am sending special thoughts and hugs to you

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I admired Julie for her strength, grace, and optimistic attitude.  She will truly be missed!

I grew up down the street from Julie.  I will always remember playing kickball in the 'circle' (or whatever game we decided), going to the roller-rink, and eventually working together at the infamous Tollgate Junction.  My condolences go her family and to Ms. Rosa.  May God's peace be with you.

Our family wishes your family comfort at this terrible time!  Julie was a great person!  I enjoyed my many days of cheering with her on the sidelines, talking about our boys and chatting at the pool!  She will be missed!

She fought the good fight with dignity and grace.  She was a wonderful person, special wife and good mother.  Her smile will be in our memories forever.

My deepest sympathy to the Wilcox family and Rosa Hubbard.  I knew Julie in high school and will always have fond memories of her! May God be a source of strength for the family as they walk through this season in their lives.

I remember Julie from my first Race for the Cure. I had just been diagnosed and I was still trying to recover from by bilateral mastectomy and had many complications from it, I was in a wheelchair . I was sitting in my wheelchair listening to her give her speech and remember saying she has Stage 4 breast cancer! She looked so wonderful,was so positive and soo strong. She really gave hope,courage and strength new meaning to me.  Then I joined a wonderful support BCAUSE. My very first meeting I seen that same strong wonderful person.  the face of hope I had seen at the Relay for Life.She was always so kind and was always their for others despite her own illness and struggles. Julie you are a true angel. I am sincere when I say this you were my strength, from the day I met you at the Race for the Cure. Lots of love to you. To her family I pray that you find the strength, she had to get through this hard time. Vicky Squires

She and Will had a great love and they raised two wonderful boys.  She was a cherished member of our community and we will miss her greatly.
