"Dear Uncle Tom and Aunt Linda, and family, My heart breaks for you. There are no words to say. Hug each other, do not be afraid to cry - there will never be enough tears. Remember to eat and sleep - you will need that to keep going - Julie would want you to - for her and Chelsea and each other. Lucy Cuellar once told me - Jeremy is closer now and can help us more - he is still helping - when I remember to ask and when I forget - believe it or not, he does remind me! Our deepest sympathy to you and yours. Steve and Darlene and families. "

"Linda, Tom and family...my deepest and heartfelt prayers for you all during this time. I have known you Linda, for many years and Julie I have known since back in high school. She was always so feisty and full of fun, her smile was infectious and her laugh was all her own. I will never forget the fun times and sometimes trouble we had gotten into. She was a hard worker and more importantly an awesome mother and friend. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her."
