Sorry for your loss. Ms julia was a good friend to me at walmart and helped me get my job back a long time ago. I always hoped to see her more after she went to new walmart. She was so sharp at work I nicknamed her hawkeye. She is loved and missed.

I had a pleasure of working with Ms. Julia at store 4384. She was a sweet lady. She had a unique style with her self. Always gave u words of comfort. I shared several stories with her. She knew my familys names like she had met the in person. I look in my clset at the boxes of shoes that she gave me when i left store 4384 to go to 1359. She really did not want me to leave. We lost touch after i went in the Asst. Manager program. But i will say she will be missed in my heart. I will miss that lovely smile and that laugh. Sleep on Ms. Julia take ur rest. Fly high in the sky. And light it up with that lovely smile Love, Asst Manager Trudie
