Tributes
"I want to thank Julie for her friendship. We had a lot of fun times working together at BTR and I will treasure our friendship outside of the plant. She always had an ear to listen and an open heart. I could always count on some laughs with her. Even when she was at her worst you would never hear about it from her. I know God will take good care of her but I sure will miss her."
