My Aunt Julianne was a lovely and elegant lady. What some may not know is she was also very funny. She had a great sense of humor and smiled even through tough times. She was a wonderful, sweet and kind Aunt. I loved her dearly and so happy I got to share my pregnancy and baby boy Paxton with her. He was pure joy for her. We will miss you terribly Aunt Julianne.

Very sorry to hear about Aunt Julianne. I was in Charleston several weeks ago and went by the beach house and thought of her. I knew she was not doing well. My thoughts are with the rest of the family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of visiting Mrs. Julie at Anchor. She was a kind, lovely lady and touched my heart. I'd read the Bible, pray with her and help her with her Bingo Card. Sometimes it was hard understanding what she was saying but she did mention someone named David and Julie. She was very fond of her family. I will keep you all in my prayers.
