Alton, Shawn and Allison,
I am so sorry to hear about Julia. I loved her. I know we lost touch but I thought of all of you often and all the good times we had together at the house in Deltaville and her and Alton driving us around. They were such good times and great memories that will always be with me. I love you all are you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Ms. Julia was a beautiful woman, full of life, and love. Allison, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you so much.
Sad to hear of Julia Ellen’s passing. Elementary school through High School, we both became Hairdressers and going to Beauty Conventions, flew to RoanokeHotel to a Wig Class, weekly trips to Richmond to a Spa, She was Hostess at her home for my Wedding Reception, etc. So many wonderful memories that I’m so grateful for. Rest in Peace my precious friend. You will never be forgotten. My prayers and love to Alton, Shawn and Allison! ❤️
So sorry to hear of Julia Ellen’s passing! We became best friends in high school. She was my Maid of honor, and I was her Matron of honor in our weddings. While attending hairdresser school together, Julia lived with my husband and I in Newport News so she wouldn’t have to travel back and forth every day. I will miss our cell phone conversations. My prayers and love to the family especially Allison for helping Julia and I to keep in touch with one another. God bless you all.
