Julia Glut Obituary

Dear Don,

I've just learned of your mother's passing. My deepest sympathies.

Your writing has been a source of pleasure and a comfort when life has gotten me down. I'm hoping you find many sources of comfort in your time of grief. And that your memories sustain you in your loss.

Dear Don,
We were so saddened to learn of your dear mother's passing. Please know that she and you are in our prayers.

Dear Aunt Julia,
You were not only my dear Aunt, but my Godmother. I am so happy that my Mom, Rosemary Glut, and I were able to spend some time with you in October of ’06 and my daughter Suzanne and I could spend time with you in May of ’08. We will miss you so much.

So many of my wonderful childhood memories revolve around you and Don and all the fun we had including going to Wheeling to see Grandma and Grandpa Glut. It would not have been as much fun without the two of you.

I always felt so badly that you and Don lost Uncle Frank so long ago. I wish I could have met him, but he passed away before I was born. I know my Dad, Bill, really missed him until the day he died. They were so close.

Now you are with Uncle Frank, my Dad, your sister Christine and your parents. As happy as they are having you with them, the rest of us are so sad to see you go.

You will always be in my heart.

Love,

Rosemary

Dear Aunt Julia,
I will always remember the vibrant woman you were. From before my memory begins as a child going to your house on holidays and just plain old regular days to visiting you in your final days.

Don holding his hand out the bedroom door holding a shrunken head as I wanted to pass thru the hallway to the kitchen when I was 4 or 5 years old... you telling him to stop scaring me.

The rope of bells that hung on the side of the front door. I would shake the rope each time I went in or out the door.
"Grandpa" would be sitting right there in his chair.

Thank YOU for being "Aunt Julia"...
may you rest in peace.

My dear Aunt Julia: You were like a second mother to me after my mom died 15 years ago. You more than gave back to the world through your generous V.A. work. You raised a successful son as a single parent (and we all know how difficult THAT must have been). You opened your home to me and others on the holidays so we would feel loved and cared for and enjoy the best holiday meals we ever had or ever will have. You are one tough and classy lady. We all love you very much, and will miss you dearly. There is a special place in Heaven for you, and I know you are happy there now with Uncle Frank.

I love you,
Your neice,Susan

Honestly, the world is just going to be less interesting with the loss of Julia. One of the most colorful, interesting and lovable characters I've ever met who adored her son(Don) unconditionally. We met her years ago and we had the privilege of spending time with her every time Don came to town. I'd spend my time with her while Allen and Don did their dinosaur/horror movie things, Julia and I would cook dinner ("A womans place" according to Don) and she would tell me stories that would keep me entertained for hours. While Don would show movies, I'd be in the background with her and she would be giving me the play by plays of what went on in the background that were more amusing then the movies themselves (Sorry Don) Even our very young daughters (in the early years) found her to be a joy. Over the years she never failed to be a wonderful host to an array of characters that Don would bring home. An absolutely wonderful woman who will be very missed. My love and condolences to you, Don.
