I don't even know where to begin. The world has lost a very special soul, someone who didn't have an easy life, but persevered, and found love and happiness. Though we weren't speaking the last couple years, I never, ever imagined we wouldn't get the chance to again. I'm in shock.
I can't even fathom what Brian is going though. My heart and all my love goes out to him, and I hope that he knows that I was always happy to know that he and Julia found happiness together; it's the only thing I ever wanted for her, to be happy.
So many memories are flying though my head right now. Little moments, so many wonderful weekends together, the time we spent with our friends from the board. She was a wonderful person, and speaking of her in the past tense feels intensely wrong.

I'm so very sorry your life was cut short, Julesy.
My heart goes out to everyone who knew her, and loved her, and enjoyed her wit, her friendship, and her love of life.
Rest in peace, Julia. You were one hell of a woman. They broke the mold.
