Violet & Family,

I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and your family. There are no words I can express that even come close to how sorry I am. You are always in my prayers. May you find some comfort in all your warm and loving memories of your son. God Bless all of you!

Violet, Kasey and Family,

My family and I send our deepest sympathy to you during this very difficult time. Words cannot express the true comfort that you need. Only time cannot begin to calm the sorrow. Your son watches over you,loves you and will always be in your hearts.

Julius was one of the most trustworthy people i have ever met. He was one of my best friends. We would hang out all the time and we always had fun.Every day in the summer we would be out riding bikes, playing soccer, painballing, and tons more. He was always happy and had a passion for life and was dedicated to things he loved doing. Whenever i was down or was stressed i could always go hang out with Julius because i knew i would feel better. No matter what the situation Julius always took what life gave him and made the best of it. I knew Julius for a while and over the years we had grown very close and i felt like he was part of our family and i part of his. His parents would always make us food after we had been out all day. There are countless memories that we shared together none of which will be forgotten. Although he is not with us anymore he will always remain in our hearts.

Dear Violet and Family:

You have our deepest sympathy at this most difficult time. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I had the privledge of teaching Julius at Century Jr. High and what an extraordinary child he was.

My daughter and Julius went to Century together and also attended Sandburg together. It was a shock when we heard the news. God has taken Julius from us but his warmth and passion for life will live on forever in our hearts. My families prayers are with your whole family at this sad time. Julius's love for Life will continue to be an inspiration to all of his peers, teachers and anyone who had the priveldge to have known Julius.

Mrs. Buerger, Century Jr. High

Teacher

Julius was one of the most well-mannered young adults that I have ever known. My brother and Julius were best friends, friends that enjoyed one anothers company for many years. Doing what best friends would do video games, play music, ride bikes, bowl, play soccer together and etc. Julius was a funny, intelligent, great athlete, and over all warming personality. I will miss seeing him on his bicycle waving hello, calling the house looking for my brother on a nice day. Joking around with him and seeing him smile and laugh. My family and I will truly miss his presence in our home and seeing him in the neighborhood. Julius will be truly missed but we will always keep him in a special place in our hearts.

Dearest Violet and family,



I know words cannot touch the sorrow you feel, but words are all I have at present to let you know how very saddened and overwhelmed I am to know of Julius' death. Please know you are in my prayers and thoughts so very often these days and your friends and co-workers at Loyola will be there in any way that might be of help. Please let us know what we can do for you beyond praying for you at this time. The whole microbiology lab has you constantly in our thoughts this week as you follow this very sad path. We will walk with you, be with you, hold you, and pray with you.



Love,

Pat

Julies was a great kid. He always used to play paintball, snowboard, and dirtbike with my brother and I. I remeber one time I gave him guitar lessons at his house. He always would be open about his things. If anybody needed paintballs or whatnot, he would always be happy to lend them. One time his family even treated everybody to McDonald's cheeseburgers. He was a kind kid and will be missed.

Julius will always be in our hearts and soul, while our love goes out to his family & friends!

Dear Rekasius Family,

We are greatly shocked and saddened by the loss of your very precious son. We too have a son that age (Julius' friend, Steven) and we all mourn with you. Please know that you are not alone and are in our thoughts and prayers and that you may call us for support if you need us.There are no words to even describe our great sympathy for your loss. Know that he is a child that God will hold and protect and that he is with other members of your family who have passed and love him very much too.

I'm really sorry about Julius and was really upset when i heard about it. He was such a great person alltogether and it's just horrible that he's now gone.

Julius was a great kid who enjoyed life. But no matter how involved in play he always gave a smile and a wave as I drove past in my car. He was always welcome at our home where he spent many sleep overs playing computer games with my son. Julius and my son spent many days doing what kids do best...paintball, riding bikes, playing soccer, the list goes on and on. My son never wanted to come home when he was hanging out with Julius. I remember one time taking the kids bowling Julius got up and bowled like a professional with a curve ball out of this world...making it look like child’s play to the struggling adult like myself. I will miss you Julius but I will never forget you nor will I forget the joy you brought to my son's life over the short amount of time we have known you. You will remain in our hearts and your spirit will live on through our children.

This tragedy would leave any parent speechless, even if there were thoughts to express. It would appear to be an affront to all the order we expect from life and the so-called "natural order of things" when a child is lost. What CAN you say? What CAN you do to be of solace to anyone and everyone whose life was touched by Julius, or whom Julius would have touched?

Know that we love you. Know that grief is shared. Know that you are not alone in the midst of despair. Know, that although we do not have the words, we embrace you as the only means of expression we do have.

"In the divine order of nature, both life and death, joy and sorrow serve benificent ends, and, in fullness of time, you will know why your love brings you sorrow as well as happpiness. Wait patiently you who mourn, and be of good courage, for surely your longing souls will be satisfied."

Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss.



We want you to know that we are with you and you are with us. We all share with you the sorrow, and heart ache, and so many tears. We pray everyday for you. Please try not to despair, God is holding his hand.

May God Bless You

May his Holy Spirit Come Upon You

And Make You New



In Love and Sorrow,

Our blessings and love to your family. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers every day.
