My deepest condolences to the family.
She was a lovely girl.
Much love to all the family! ❤️. Our families have shared many wonderful memories together!
Lauri and family, Sue and I are saddened to learn of your mother’s passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts.
So very sorry about your loss, your mom always like to talk toe when I would deliver her cheese straws.
Sadden to hear of Mrs. Julie’s death. She was a sweet customer in which we enjoyed serving. Our prayers & love of sympathy are extended to her family.
Praying for Julie’s family and friends. Julie will certainly be missed in her community, church, and the Town of Kingstree. Julie, Mary Jo, and Ginny were my neighbors and we spent a great deal of time in each other’s homes. Julie was in charge of keeping Mary Jo, Ginny, and myself from doing crazy things because she was 4 years older. We probably gave her a lot of headaches. Julie was a beautiful person inside and out and cared about all she came in contact with. Sending my love to Mary Jo, Lauri, Jay, and family.
So sorry for your loss. Julie was a special lady so sweet and kind! Knew her sisters as well and loved them, also her mom and dad. Life will not be as bright without her.
Mary Jo, Lauri and Jay. I am deeply sorry for your loss. You 3 girls were always my friends. From babysitting Lauri Ann and Jay to living Mary Jo and being best friends with Ginny. My prayers and love are with all of you during this time. I love all of you.
Lauri, I am sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. May the Lord keep y’all comforted during this time.
“Miss” Julie was so loving and kind. She made everyone around her feel loved and special! She was so good to me and my family during our years in Kingstree. Prayers to all of her family that God will wrap His loving arms around you and give you peace!
My thoughts and prayers for the family. Julie was always one of the friendliest and sweetest lady I’ve ever known! She will surely be missed.
Lauri,
I was so sorry to hear of Julianne’s passing! She was such a sweet southern lady! Please know that you, Jay and all of your family members are in our thoughts and prayers! Much love,
Reveley

Julie and I were in the same grade through the Kingstree school system. Julie was wonderful lady who devoted her life to her husband, children and the church. She missed her husband after his death. She was a good friend who kept me informed on news in Kingstree and classmates. My heart felt sympathy to her family for their loss.
