It was such a shock to read of Julian’s passing. We remember
both Grace and Julian as very special guests at our home. It was always such a treat for my daughters Allison and Julie when Grace and Julian came to visit us. They. as we always enjoyed their company, and it was a special time in our lives.
We truly regret not learning of Julian’s passing in time to go to the calling hours but read the notice in the evening of April 10 well after the hours were over.
