Dear Roberts Family,

Julia was a customer of mine and I always regarded her as a great customer and got to know her on occasional chats! She made me laugh and I fell in love with her little bull dog pup! I can only pray that God gives you all; Strenght, Wisdom, and Peace at this difficult time. I liked Julia very much and had utmost respect for her. She will be missed.
Sincerly,

Julia took me under her wing in high school her kindness and compassion for me has always been a reference for how to treat others. I would not be the same person if not for having her as a friend. She was authentic and smart and creative and kind. Her memory and influence lives in me.

November 19, 2012

Julia, I regret that I had no idea of your suffering even though I could not probably share your burdens. I trust that such extreme pain has served as total expiation so as to admit you directly into Paradise. ADM

Elizabeth Grogan

To the Roberts Family,
Although we did not see each other regularly, I counted Julia among my friends. We shared a similar sense of humor, finding joy in the oddities of life. I was sorry to have to miss the service and to miss the opportunity to be tell you in person that whatever you are feeling now, be it grief, anger, confusion, sorrow, it is shared by so many others. Although there is no question that the burden you carry now is unfairly heavy, hopefully knowing that it is shared by so many will help to lighten it somewhat. You are all in my thoughts as you find your way through this terrible tragedy.

I met Julia through my sister several years ago. Her beautiful smile and brilliant sense of humor endeared her to everyone she encountered. Her absence leaves a feeling of emptiness, but the wonderful memories we all have of her serve to fill that void.

Julia~
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

To all of Julia's family, both personal and professional, I would like to extend my deepest, most heartfelt sympathies. I have worked with Julia many, many times in my role as court reporter, and she was always such a wonderfully happy and friendly person. Working with her, having her in the room through many depositions, I came to know her as not only a true professional but also as someone who treated everyone -- both her colleagues and the witnesses with whom she was dealing -- in a caring and considerate way. She will be truly missed in this world.
