Juliana E. Trzaska

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our sweet Julie- a beautiful soul taken from this world too soon. She was the beloved daughter of Brandon Auriemma and Amy Trzaska; granddaughter of John and Luanne Auriemma; sister of Gabriel, Christopher, Gabby, Kylie, Andre, Kiara, Adriel, and Hannah; niece of Nicole and John Thering; aunt of Xavier, Remington and Iris; cousin of Evelyn, Thomas and Emmett Thering.

Visitation will be on Monday, February 26 from 4-8PM at Perna, Dengler, Roberts Funeral Home, 1671 Maple Road, Williamsville, NY. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Save the Michaels of the World, Inc. www.savethemichaels.org

Julie was beautiful inside and out...and had such a kind and caring soul. She was smart from a young age, and made us all smile and laugh. She loved to sing and dance, and received the "American Idol Award" when she was in preschool! Julie was an incredible artist. By first grade she was given a "Most Artistic Award." Julie always loved kids and from a young age said she wanted to be a pediatrician. She had many siblings that she cared about so much and loved spending time with them. They adored her.

As Julie got older she had big questions about this world that she realized often wasn't fair, and verbalized her existential wonders. Julie was working so hard to find a path that worked for her and had so many people supporting her along the way. Her family and friends were thrilled to see her so happy to attend her senior prom, and were so proud of her when she graduated last June.

If you knew Julie, you know it was impossible not to love her. Our hearts are shattered to have lost her, but we know she is at peace.
