Most Recent Reflection
View all 36 ReflectionsI worked with Julie on the San Diego Police Department and she was a close friend. She was very spirited, outgoing and fun to be with.
She was very excited to become a Secret Service Agent.
She will always be remembered and missed by those of us who worked with her on SDPD.
It is hard to believe she has been gone fie 40 years .
