Dear Christina & The Ballestas Family,
My heartfelt 🙏❤️ and condolences to your whole family.
I was Julia’s neighbor and loved her.
We spent many times together taking and laughing. She always made me feel good about myself.
She always saw the good in people and tried to impart her faith and positivity to me. We spent New Years Eve of 2025 together and it was a wonderful, relaxing, and fun evening. May her memories and life be a blessing to you and her whole family always. May she rest in everlasting peace.
I will miss her.
Love Always,
Michael Lerman
❤️🙏

You will always be in my heart ❤️, 
specially when I look in to my Son's eyes. 
Te quiere siempre, tu hermanito Ken.

Julia was such a loving,  joyful presence who always made me feel like family. I'm so grateful I got to be there for her 75th birthday and for the lunch we shared in this photo. She was so happy that day, telling her stories, with that light in her eyes I'll never forget. I will always carry her kindness and spirit with me.

Every time I saw her she was smiling and so happy to be around people she cared about.  To know her was to adore her.  I'm going to miss her.

Mama Posso  was such a warm, welcoming, and truly beautiful soul. She had a way of making everyone feel like family, and her kindness and joy were felt by all who knew her. I will always remember how her eyes lit up when she was with the people she loved, especially her beloved daughter—it was so clear how deeply devoted she was to her family.  Please know I am thinking of you and here for you always. Sending you so much love during this incredibly difficult time.

I will always remember in the middle of hurricane Irma walking over to visit Julia , Christina, and Jack. They were all camped out in the livingroom having a great time. It was a sight to see. So much love and laughter in the middle of chaos. Her laugh was infectious. I will also always  hear her giggle saying Laural. She was a strong, caring, woman.  I was very privileged to have known her.
