A Time to love

A Time to Reflect
Julia was a homemaker and loved to take care of her husband, children and grandchildren. She enjoyed cleaning, watching the Saints, LSU and Soap Operas or as she would say "her stories".  She was always busy doing something around the house. She was the first Lady of Home Improvements before there was an HGTV.
She believed in preparing in advance, church, birthdays, holidays, gatherings and family meals.
Although, she could no longer speak, she would still pick up the phone and call and you knew to respond quickly. She mastered written and hand gestures.
