Julia was such a nice lady and a good neighbor. When she moved to the nursing home, we all missed her from the neighborhood.

I’m so sadden to hear of of Julia’s passing.
Julia is the most wonderful loving nicest lady I ever known an I love so much.
I loved talking with her when I saw her, we talk about cooking, and her love for her pup Pooh.
I still use the recipes and cooking tip she shared with me when I was her daughter in-law.
It’s a blessing we both shared the same day for a our birthdays. We had celebrated a few birthday together.
Julia will truly be missed dearly by all.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all big (((Hugs))) and love.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember all the rides I got home after kindergarten. She was so sweet to talk to. It is hard when our parents get older and we miss them so much. We will always have them in our hearts, so they are never forgotten. May the strength of the Lord be with you all. Just lean on Him. You re in my prayers.

My condolences to the whole family. Julia was a special lady in my life growing up. With my mother baking goodies and leftover meals and I, myself, loved exchanging goodies with her from our house to hers across the street. I would stay over there for an hour each time just talking and eating goodies. She was a fantastic lady and she will be GREATLY missed!!!!!

My sincere condolences to the family of Julia Jacobs – It was not the Creator’s purpose for mankind to suffer (Romans 5:12). May the Creator give you peace through his promise to comfort us (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). Cherish all your happy memories and I hope that you are consoled by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
