Dear George, Dean, Glenn and family:
I am saddened beyond words to hear the passing of Julie. I had the privilege and honour of working with her at CIBC, Oxford and Richmond, London. She was my mentor and instrumental in my personal and professional growth. I looked up to her in every way. She believed in me and always showed kindess, patience, care and more; a beautiful soul in every way.
Thinking of you and praying loving memories bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead. I am so sorry for your loss.
With love,
Mary Barrick (nee: Kennedy)

Dear George and family,
We were so saddened to hear about Julie's passing. Though we didn't get to spend as much time with her as we would have liked, the moments we did share left a lasting impression. I still think fondly of a shopping excursion with Julie in Florida, where she made me laugh so much, and her visit to Ocean Grove with my mother. She had such a warmth and joy about her that we will always remember.
Please know we're thinking of you and the whole family during this difficult time. Julie will be missed.
With love,
Emma and Rob Conley

Dear George - I am stunned to hear this sad, sad news and in some disbelief that vibrant Julie has passed away. She was always so lovely, friendly, engaged in life and fun in the times that my late husband and partner Mark McCurdy and I met with you both for wonderful catch up visits. I'll always remember the good time we had on the trip to Italy, Greece and Turkey. Such a loving couple for such a long life together is to be envied. Sending you so much love and of course hugs as you navigate this new world without your darling Julie. Peace from Nancy (and Mark in spirit)

Dear George & Family
We were shocked to hear of Julie's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Julie for 14 years at CIBC. She was loved by both customers and staff. Not once did I ever hear a complaint from anyone. She was a true professional. Margaret also had the pleasure of working with Julie for a number of years. And George you were a true friend all those years. You and your dear family will always have the greatest memories.

Mr. Avola and family,
I am so sorry to hear that your beautiful wife/mother passed away.. My family lived
beside you on Jamaica Street. You were such wonderful neighbours. I did see you both
not too long ago and you both looked like the beautiful couple I remember. I had the privilege of babysitting your children. You both were so kind to my parents. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
