Subject: RE: Obit: Walking Eagle - Julie Pennell
This is the obituary Sorcha linked to (click). I'll post it here because it won't be available for long. I'm glad Julie stayed with us on her journey toward death. I had a little contact with her now and then, and I really liked her. May you rest in peace, Julie. Thanks for being with us.
