I know that life can be unfair, but when I heard about Julie's friend, I thought, oh my goodness, what a striking blow---this was just too much--how terrible and WOW, Julie is just too young to have to endure this amount of grief. I mean, she just lost her niece under tragic circumstances and now her dear friend? It's all so sad and tragic. Still, I believe that Julie's upbeat personality and outlook on life along with Corey's (and others) support and love will get her through these times. It is just very, very sad news whenever someone dies before their time (or any time for that matter!). One reason I love the DISboards is b/c I find so much GOODNESS here and I really don't care how sappy this sounds, I truly hope she find solace knowing that she has her terrific life and job-especially knowing that she brings joy to us DISsers (Pod Squaders...). =)
