Dearest Pat, Jane, Conan, Brendan and all of Julie’s many many friends.
It was a very sad day to hear the news of Julie’s passing. Julie was a beacon of warmth and kindness in every life she touched. Such an incredible person that lived life to the fullest. Her smile could brighten the darkest day, and her laughter was a melody that brought joy to all around her. Her generosity extended far beyond her words; it was in the countless small acts of kindness she performed daily. She had a way of turning ordinary moments into cherished memories, creating a legacy of love and grace that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her.
So many great memories created with Julie, Pat and Jane all over the world. I am so lucky to have shared these experiences. Julie will be missed by so many, we already miss you so much. Sincere condolence to you all, from all the Prasse’s.
Dear Pat and Donahue Family,
Tears well up as I contemplate expressing my sorrow and condolences for Julie's passing.
She was my friend and I'm going to miss her.
Julie was also a wise confident. She was boldly compassionate, loved nature, loved beauty, appreciated wonderful music, art, and especially a great conversation.
Julie had a keen awareness of her "lot in life" and she used her time, talent and treasure to work against the injustices she saw.
Of course! she has designated Kid's Food Basket for memorial donations. Most people have no idea of the incredible impact this program has on our children, right here in Muskegon, on an almost daily basis by providing a nutritional meal to bring home.
Julie knew this, because she cared deeply about the children in this community.
She was gracious, inclusive, and "Canadian" kind.
Well done good and faithful servant.

Julie was such a kind person and so easy to talk to. She was generous with her time and even when she was ill she volunteered whenever she could at our Thrift Store in Rancho Mirage. Our hearts are with the family and hope they know how much Julie meant to us at Collectors Corner. Rest in peace Julie.
My sincere condolence to you Pat and family. Julie was a true friend to us all and I truly loved our friendship. May you enjoy your memories.
