Dec. 29, 1971-Feb. 22, 1992
Sometime during our senior year, the four of us figured we should come up with a plan for life after Provo High School. We decided to be roommates, and for a little change of scenery we thought we'd try it outside of Utah County. You know- somewhere tropical, with 70 degree weather around the year, lots of great places to shop, sightsee, etc. So we decided on Rexburg Idaho- haha. We got an apartment, and embarked on our journey to Ricks College.
We really had a lot of fun! We pulled some all nighters as a reward for our procrastinating, swapped clothes, ordered lots of pizza, dated (two of us met our husbands here), gave each other dating advice, took lots of weekend trips to Provo and back, played some sports, cooked together, tried to stay in shape- and oh yeah, I guess we went to class once in a while too! We had a blast together while learning about life on our own (although we still came back from weekends home with a car full of parent-funded groceries), and starting our education.
You know how it goes when you live with someone- you learn what they’re REALLY all about! With Julie, we learned that she genuinely was all of those things we (and many of you) thought she was in high school. She was one of the most authentic people we have still ever known. She was steady, even-tempered, and level headed. She had such a well balanced personality- she was empathic, compassionate, and caring, yet was not controlled by her emotions. The four of us laughed- a lot. Julie was hilarious! The closer we all became, the funnier she was. A great athlete, a brilliant student, and an amazing friend. We were lucky to have this time with her, and will always be grateful for it!
In February of our Sophomore year, on the way back to school from a holiday weekend in Provo, a car accident took Julie away from us far too early. It was a very difficult thing for the three of us, and it was hard to finish our Sophomore year with her gone. In the end, all three of us know we are better people because of our relationships with Julie. She continues to positively influence us- we are more understanding, compassionate, and caring people because of her, and we are certain many of you felt a positive impact from knowing her as well.
While we were lucky enough to have a lot of time with Julie in the last two years of her life, we know that there are a lot of you that knew her before this. We would love it if you would share your memories, ways she touched your life, or made you a better person. I know her family would love to see this as a tribute to her on this twenty year anniversary of her High School graduation!
Thanks to the creators of this blog for the opportunity to honor Julie, to remember what an amazing person she was and the continuing force she still is for those of us who knew her.
