We will always remember her smile, her warmth, her energy, her love for life, family and friends. She has touched the lives of so many people with her kind and generous spirit. When you think of Julia, please remember her gathered around her kitchen table with close friends and family, or cheering in the stands and urging on her favorite horse, or singing along with Paul's band in some honky tonk, or relaxing on the deck with her grandkids in the Smokey Mountains she loved so much. Her passing has left a huge hole in all of our hearts and she will be missed every day for the rest of our lives.
