"I am so sorry for your lose. I knew Julie back in the 80?s when she worked at Camp Lincoln. I remember having breakfast almost every morning with Julie and the rest of the cooks, which was always amazing. They didn?t make camp breakfast for us?Julie was an amazing cook and a beautiful person. Again, my prayers for you during this time. "
