(pay no attention to the goofy brother in this picture. ha!)Someone who isn't blood but is the closest thing I have to a sister........my beautiful sister-in- law, Julie. She is an amazing woman. I truly don't know where to start to tell you all about this special person in my life.
Julie married my oldest brother Brett. They were high school sweethearts. I couldn't imagine anyone more perfect for my brother. She quickly became like a sister to me and I asked her to be my Matron of Honor in my wedding. She is such a blessing to our family.
Julie's mom died of breast cancer last year. Jenna was the sweetest, kindest, and most caring person you could have ever known. Everything Julie is she got it from her mom. She always had a smile on her face and loved the Lord. She was one of those people you wanted to be around. Her smile was infectious. The passing of Jenna was extremely hard. This horrible disease has not only taken the life of Julie's mom but also Jenna's twin sister. There isn't a day go by that Jenna isn't missed by so many. We loved her so much!
This weekend my amazing sister-in-law will take part in the Susan G Komen 60 mile walk in Washington. Yep, you heard right...60 miles in 3 days! She and a good friend have been training for this weekend coming up. She will walk in honor of her mother. I know Jenna will be smiling in Heaven to see Julie accomplish this. They will be meeting lots of new people and hearing their stories of courage and hope. I am sure this Washington DC trip will be very memorable. If you think about it during the weekend, please send up a little prayer for Julie and Susan and those for whom they are walking...the brave women who are battling breast cancer today.
Love you dearly Julie. We are so proud of you and will be praying you through this!
Julie and Susan
