Julie's steadfast commitment to the newly created Work Group for Racial Equity of our Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society was huge. She was always a willing contributor to our initiatives and took on countless support tasks that helped the Work Group thrive. I wish she could see the impact her contributions have had on the whole organization. I think of her often with love and gratitude.

Dear Robert and Alicia and all those who knew and cherished Julie, my deepest condolences.  It was over 20 years ago that Julie befriended me at a neighborhood gathering.  I was new there and felt out of place, and Julie’s warmth and friendliness to me was so generous, welcoming and kind. I had the privilege of witnessing Julie become a caring and highly competent social worker and psychotherapist.  She had a beautifully open heart and mind and was always striving to learn more. It was an honor to know her. She will be deeply missed.  Rest In Peace and love Julie.

I was shocked to learn of Julia's death and can only believe that you are reeling from it.  I have never connected with her, but had the intention of calling her to talk about Lois.  My deepest sympathy for your loss.  

Dear  Alicia and Robert,
I am saddened to learn of the passing of Julie.  I am pleased to have known Julie in many capacities.  I first met Julie when she was a member of my class at the Advanced Training program of the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services during the 90’s. I  was also her supervisor and mentor for her final presentation from the Advanced Training Program.  Her final presentation was outstanding. She demonstrated her dedication and expertise in working with the chronically mentally ill. Recently we were both members of the EGPS, WGRE.

Over the years, we developed a close collegial  relationship, She visited my home and I visited her home last summer . She introduced me to her husband and shared the story of their meeting and the purchase of their home. Although sick, it was important for Julie to prepare lunch for us. In recent years, she challenged herself to learn more about racism and to share her emotional learning with her family and friends.

I came to know Julie as an intelligent, very caring person who lived her life based on Christian values. She will be missed.

In sympathy,

Judith  C. White

I will miss Julie and feel the lack of her friendship keenly.  I am so grateful for the years of our friendship.  She had a rare spirit.  I feel honored by her friendship to me.

Alicia I join with you and a long list of others in shared sadness’s for the loss of your aunt Julie.

We were born and raised about an hours drive apart.  She was my HomeGirl for many wonderful reasons unrelated to the accident of birth.  She was my HomeGirl throughout our last shared schlep through the Atlanta airport following our life altering trip to The Legacy Museum in Montgomery.  My tears on the keyboard are my salute to a social justice warrior.  May her HomeGoing bring peace to Robert and to all.

Brigid and John,
After hearing the news we just wanted to let you both know that you are in our thoughts at this difficult time. While geography has prevented a closer relationship, we are family and if there is anything we can do to help, please do not hesitate. Our love to you and your families.

I was saddened to hear of Julia's passing.     I remember attending Julia's workshop at an EGPS conference and was impressed by her knowledge, compassion and  kindness.   Her presence will be sorely missed.

I am so very sorry to hear of my cousin Julia's passing. She is such a wonderful, caring and delightful person.  Although I have not seen Julia in a number of years I still have many memories of the summers we spent together when we were younger.  Mom was a teacher so she had summers off, she would pack us kids in the car and we would drive from California to Bradford and spend the summer with our grandparents. Julia, Susie, my sister Patti and my brother Steve and I were close enough in age to hang out together, we had lots of fun. Brigid and John please know that we are here if you need anything and remember Julia will always live on in our hearts.
 

Hello friends, I wanted to say that the beautiful memory of Julie was written by her brother and sister, John and Brigid Sullivan. Thank you all for your thoughts left here, there are so welcome and meaningful. All my best, Alicia



Julie was a wonderful colleague, loving friend, and deeply committed social justice advocate. Her contributions as a founding member of the Work Group for Racial Equity of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society inspired many others. I will remember her enthusiasm and generosity. I will remember her wit and laughter. I will remember the pumpkin bread and banana nut bread she often brought to our gatherings. I'll miss her.
