Brian and to all of Julia's friends, I am deeply saddened by Julia

[sarah b.]

Thanks for sharing, and welcome. ((everyone who found out today and those still upset))

[OnBongos]

:heart: words cannot express the sadness this news brings. I didn't know her personally but was touched by many of the posts she made here. Love to all her family and friends.

[HappieKamper]

My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

[Phan]

Oh, Julia. You made me think of lunches differently - I always loved when you would post about your cute lunch.

To reiterate...this dark world has lost one of it's brightest lights it's ever known.

Thank you for the bloody mary at IT.

You will truly be missed by this community and the Phish community.

Brian, celebrating her life in the church of Phish is exactly what she would have wanted you to do. She was a true phan, through and through. May I make a suggestion to take her tickets and give them as miracles to somebody looking for one that makes you smile for some reason, or who you see do an act of kindness? I believe if she had extra tickets and no friend to give them to that she would in fact give out miracles. In fact, she was a miracle to both the Vibes and Phish communities.

This wook will surely do a dance to a Phish song in her honour.

I am so very sorry for your loss...her light shines on, brother. So, so very sad for you and all who loved her. I sure did.

Much to all of you. Rest in peace, sweet Julia!

[Kizmet]

upon seeing this - i couldnt beleive my eyes - i am deeply saddened. I havent been on the boards for a while.. maybe lurking here and there.. but she ALWAYS always had something super witty to post - she truly was an original being. My heart goes out to all of you good people whose lives shes touched - I never knew her.. but i shed tears for her and her family. I am truly sorry for your loss...

We had a few moments of rememberance, sort of a mini-wake last night at Zach Deputy, who very kindly said a few words to the room about Julia. I have the set if anyone wants to tell me a quick way to get it on the internets for downloading. Jamie, Terry and I shared some tears and some grief and were all a bit shell-shocked.

I would love a copy.
You can probably upload it to megaupload or sendspace and send anyone who wants a copy the link to download it themselves.

Or if you want to send me a copy, I'll be happy to do the uploading and send out myself!

Thanks, Julius!!

[jen s]

I am sitting here at work, and had this strong urge to log on to the boards, was thinking of Julia and only to find out she is being laid to rest today.

I am deeply saddened by this loss and my heart goes out to her family, brian and all that knew her.

Her sense of humour, wit and outlook on life will be missed. She definitely brought so many laugh out loud moments to my life, where my coworkers were left wondering what I was snickering at.

the world is shedding many tears for you!

[CreekFreek]

Wow - this is so sad

She was one of kind.

Heartbroken

[Slabbidy Blodahead]

Thinking of you today, Jules. Brian too. Thanks for the good...no, the great times and conversation shared over the years...

[TylerTerrapinCurtis]

I'm actually looking for tickets to 12/30, but when I find them, (and I have tickets to 1/1/11), I'll write on my hand, RIP Julia. I only faintly know her threw her posts, but this will be a way of me dedicating my first Phish shows to someone that appears to be a great phan.



God bless you Brian.

May the music blow you safely home

[kate11]

I can't imagine a phish show at which she won't come to mind, especially this new year's run.

:)Will I get to see you there?

[melissa.phish]

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
the sinners are much more fun...

you know that only the good die young

[williscat2000]

Julia's passing is a real lesson to me..seeing her thread about telling the people you love, that you love them really brings it home for me. I am so sorry for everyone's loss. We should all try to express a little extra love, in the name of Julia, with the people we love and care for.

[scarfire]

posting on the board is no longer the same when you realize she's not out there reading it

[B. Diddy]

For the record, Scarfire, you were always one of her favourites.

[scarfire]

ahhh diddy, she was one of my favorites here as well.

i've been holed up all week at a beachfront villa in barbados reading john irving's latest novel. such an odd coincidence as i borrowed this book the week before she died. he was one of julia's favorite writers. the story revolves around a man's search for his biological father. the similarity between julia's posts and irving's writing style is uncanny, not to mention the plot parallels.

i've been thinking about her all week.

[B. Diddy]

Yeah, she had me read A Prayer For Owen Meany. It's an amazing book. I still have the copy she gave me.

[TEO]

For the record, Scarfire, you were always one of her favourites.

With good reason!

[purple cowboy]

She taught me a lesson or two about true satire. Much love to her friends and family.

[insolent cur]

i came to this hard realization today. i've been in denial, just waiting for snark.

[CreekFreek]

It's really hard to see her recent posts when reading random threads.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
As just a casual acquaintance (I only got to hang out with her a handful of times) - I can't even imagine what her loved ones are going thru right now.<o:p></o:p>

[cj]

Yeah, she had me read A Prayer For Owen Meany. It's an amazing book. I still have the copy she gave me.

speaking of julia's love of reading... i will never forget the first time kev and i hung out at her place in toronto. i was drinking a glass of red wine and perusing her bookshelves and was struck by the fact that it was almost like looking at my own, we had so many favourites in common. we chatted about books we love. ah, julia. i miss you.

[Lazy Lightning]

WTF?!

This is the first thing I see after coming back online after being away for two weeks... Haven't read the whole thread yet, just in total shock... So sad, I don't really know what else to say, life is so precious and fleeting, peace and love to all who feel a vacancy in their lives from her passing, let us hold one another close.

RIP Patchoulia.

[TEO]

(((Lola)))

[Lazy Lightning]

Just another reminder of how precious and fragile this life is - we can not take one single breath for granted, so blessed are we who walk upon this earth.

[Jersey Thug]

i love you Kat. what a beautiful memorial page for our friend

i don't see a comment button...and find myself at a loss for words, after reading what's already been written. thank you and Ellis and everyone responsible for making that happen, though. it's a lovely tribute and the addition of boardie love will only make it better.

good night boardies. much love to all of you tonight and always

[Mr.BBG]

Good Morning America is playing Phish's Joy in there final segment called your week in three words.... Made me think of this. Much Love

[Moose]

while at fairway, I picked up some smarties.....the kind that Julia would approve of

[TEO]

Of which Julia would approve.

[Sunshower]

Of which Julia would approve.

I see what you did there!
