To the entire family, I am sorry for your loss, but happy that Julie is in a better place. She touched everyone's heart, that worked with her. I was blessed to have met such a beautiful family. You are all incredibly kind, warm and very thoughtful. I wish you all well and I am sure, after looking at some family photo's that you will all carry, with you, warm memories of her. She was beautiful! She will always be with you. It was a pleasure spending time with all of you. Kelli Q.

The other day I (Becky) was telling Paul about my memories of your mom and mentioned the church choir. When I was a kid I remember that she was my favorite person to watch up in the choir because she was always smiling so big. She obviously loved to sing and it just made me happy to watch her. Obviously, her love for Jesus was shining on the outside and that made an impact on me. Having lost Grandma Edighoffer this past year we feel your loss acutely. You are all in our thoughts and prayer.

We all need to call On God’s holy power When we’re in our deepest need And in our saddest hour God is never distant He sheds a tear with you He knows the pain you're feeling And what you’re going through When you place your hope In His undying love You will know His peace Like a mighty rushing flood. Denny, I am sadden to have read about Julie's passing. It was really good to see her at the eye doctors that day. My prayers are with you and your family at this time of grief. It is so hard to let the love of your life go. We shall meet again. In Christ, Cindie Hayward-Simmonds

Denny and kids, I will never forget all the dairy meetings and all the friendly waves and visits over our tractors when I would work up on Uncle Art's place. Please know that you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
