I want to express my deepest condolences to the family of Juliette. She was more than a neighbor- she was a dear friend. Juliette was a strong fighter who never quit; even in her illness, she fought to the very end. I am inspired by her courage to never give up. Though I will miss her deeply, I am comforted knowing she is out of her pain. We hold to the promise that one day death will lose its sting, and death itself shall die. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 . May God's peace, which passes all understanding be with her family and friends during this difficult times.

I'll forever remember our laughter-filled lunches and dinners either at your home or ours. They brought so much joy and light into our lives, and we will miss them dearly. Sending love and strength to the family. From Lorna, Nailah, and Toya
