I am saddened to hear that Julie has passed away.  My condolences to the family.  God Bless.

Tim and family. Words cannot express the sadness I felt when I recieved the news of Julies passing. Tim, our friendship goes back to your RC Cola days and my Kroger days. All the get togethers, holiday parties. Buffet parties, weekend jaunts are to many to count. I'll always remember Julies genuine smile her sense of humor and the way she made you feel like a cherished friend. The way she would glow with pride when she shared stories about her girls. I am so very fortunate to have had Julie as a friend.  I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Friend Always

I worked with Julie at Illinois Mutual for 25+ years. Julie was a caring person who brought a smile to work every day. I extend condolences to Tim and your family at this difficult time.

Julie was a sweet, fun loving lady. She will be missed greatly. My husband (Keith) worked with Tim at RC Cola and I enjoyed talkin with her at all the functions.

You were am amazing person. Until we meet again Sis, your are in my heart. Love You. Janis

Even though I never met Julia, I know her leaving has left a hole in the hearts of many including my friend Peggy Sue.  My heart aches for all of you, but know she has left a piece of herself behind living on in each one of you.    Julia and all of the Brown family will be held in my heart and remembered with prayers...

Julie was such a neat lady.  You always knew where you stood with her and her pride in her family always shined through.  Although there will be an empty place, she leaves behind a strong family that she is very proud of.  Rest in Peace.

Judy and  family so sorry I lived on Humboldt street when you lived there we went to school and played together my maiden name was Linda Smith

 Julie was one of a kind; smart, strong minded and willed, honest, compassionate, and loving mother, wife and friend.  Her passing has left us with a huge void in our hearts and lives.  God speed Julie, and rest in peace my dear friend.  Love & Prayers, Sally

I only met Julie a few times but remember her as such a happy person always. We lived only a few houses away from Howard and Neva in Peoria Heights also. We have known Joyce and Bill and the family for years and have lost touch with all of them. We are still in Chillicothe. We send our sympathies to the entire family and will keep the family in our prayers.

In was in the late 60's, a turbulant time in my life when the twins moved into Chillicothe.  Their Mother and the twins showed a compassion unlike any that I had experienced at that time.  After school, a war came and went, a career came and went, and 39 years and counting of marriage still flourish.  During the trials and tribulation that make life, remembering their smiles and care free spirit will always be remembered.  One thing is constant, we shall see Julia again...that is promised by Him.  Thanks again, from Den.

I worked with Tim for several years at RC. The outings and get togethers will always bring fond memories of Julie's smiling face. May she always be your gaurdian angel and watch over all of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim and his family.  Julie was a wonderful person who always had a smile on her face, and so much fun to be around.  She will be greatly missed.

Dear Julie, I shall miss you my friend. I know you are sitting on that Heavenly beach, basking in that light that shines just for you. Until we meet again, I shall hold our friendship and special memories in my heart. Love you, Robin

Dear Julie, I shall miss you my dear friend.  I know that you are sitting on that Heavenly beach basking in the light that shines just for you. Until we meet again, I will always hold our friendship & special memories in my heart.  Love you, Robin

I wish Tim and the entire family peace and healing. To paraphrase a recent speech by a public figure who had a tragic loss long ago: May time give you healing such that you ultimately reach the point where thinking about Julia brings a smile to your face before it brings a tear to your eye. May you reach that point soon.

I met Julie when we were in about 7th or 8th grade. My parents had become friends with Howard and Neva. We went on some weekend camping trips together and our parents visited from time to time.  The first time that Julie, Judy and I hung out (while our parents played cards I think) they played one song over and over.  It was The Letter by the Box Tops and they kept playing it on their record player because I objected to it. 

Our paths crossed again when they lived in Chillicothe during our High School days. Although I lost contact with her decades ago, I have thought of Julie and Judy everytime I hear The Letter played on the radio for the last 44 or so years. It always brings me a smile and fond memories.

Rest in peace, Julie. I send my deepest sympathy to her family.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.

I have only known Julie and Tim for a few years now. Every time I saw them, they both always had huge smiles and always welcomed me and my family into their home. They both are fantastic people with a wonderful, loving family. 
Carrie and Katie, I cannot imagine what you are going through right now. I am heartbroken for you and your family. Your mother has given you both the strength she has, the values and morals of being a good person, and the love of being a good mother. 
I love you both and cherish our friendship.

Tim, our hearts go out to you and your family...Paul and I remember many good times with you and Julie and the RC Folks...she was a fun person to be around...I know she will be missed by all who knew her.  Paul & Suzi Miller

My thoughts and prayers go out to Tim and his family for his loss.

I will dearly miss you, Julie.  Thank you for the years of wonderful friendship to my parents and our family.  I'm grateful that you were present for so many of my life's milestones & I'm blessed to have known you.  You were a gem of a lady & while I'm heartbroken, I am so glad you will now be able to rest in peace.  

Love always from the Rhoades Family:   (Rodney, Emily, Tyler, Nicholas & Brandon)

Judy and family, I don't know if you will remember me Judy, but back at Woodruff we were in General Business and Foods classes together and became friends.  I even came to your house for a slumber party once and we had a blast!  I always thought you both were so very sweet and treasured getting to know you.  We never saw each other after graduation but I thought of the two of you once in a while with fond memories.  I am so very sorry to hear of Julie's passing and send my deepest condolences to you and your family.  We are much too young for this to be happening!  God Bless and keep you all.  Chris Wilson Onnen,   Woodruff Class of '71

I never met Julia but I worked with her very sweet daughter Katie for a while. My sympathies & prayers are with all of the family.

I went to high school in Chillicothe, with Julie and Judy. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Tim and the family. Julie was a good friend and a great co-worker. She will be missed by all of us here at Illinois Mutual.

Very sorry on your loss.   Although I didn't know Julie personally, I had heard many good things about her.  Know that although the pain doesn't go away it does lessen over time.  Her memories will make you smile and laugh.  Keep her memories going strong.  

Linda Sprouse and family.

My thoughts are prayers are with your family.  I had never met Julia but her daughter Carrie is my niece Sara's best friend.  I am so very sorry for your loss.

May your strength prevail to help you through this difficult time. She raised two beautiful and amazing daughters, Carrie & Katie My deepest sympathies are with you and all your family in your time of need.

My thoughts are with the family and friends.  I never met Julia but have met her two daughters.  She raised two amazing human beings.  That says so much to who she was.  God bless!
