Julie was in the operating room the day I was born. For so many years Julie would say she was the first to smack my bottom. She was such a caring wonderful person. She and John were such great friends to my parents (H.E. and Jeannine Tingler). I last saw her 5 years ago at my father’s 80th birthday party. She and John came. They never seemed to change. It was a great day for me to introduce my children to the women who spanked my bottom when I came into the world. I was blessed to have known her and I was blessed that she helped bring me into this world. To her family, take peace in the love and caring person that touched the lives of so many. She has left her mark on this world. The world was a better place because she was part of it. God has now reunited her and John. They are not only two bright spots in heaven, they were two bright spots on earth. They will never be forgot and always appreciated.
Dear Maine Family- Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. I had the pleasure of working with your mother when I was a young nurse in the ICU in 1978-1980. Your mother taught me so much more than just the clinical skills needed to be an ICU nurse. I was also very fortunate to have your mother care for me when I was a patient in the ICU in 1980. I truly attribute her compassionate and skilled nursing care with my complete recovery. She was a wonderful woman and true nursing professional. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Linda Coburn Moore
