01/18/2023 - Julie Olmstead

It seems Julie has been in 
my life forever, rather along 
the lines of a little sister or
a fave niece. We did meet 
25 years ago or so and have 
been close ever since. She's
taken my classes, joined my 
group of sisters and been a 
bright light in moments of
darkness.

I rue the day illness took 
her life as she knew it. It
was heartbreaking to watch
this amazing woman slow
her steps, but never her 
smile. Positive as ever,
she showed us what real
courage looked like.

Looking back, I am well
pleased that we went over
to see her every few weeks.
I thought we had more time.

The lesson I take from Julie . . .

Live life while you have it.
Exist only when you don't!

What a love . . .

"Your wings were ready, 
but our hearts were not . . ."
