Julie was truly a special woman. When you spoke with her she looked into your eyes so intently and you
knew she was focused on what you had to say. I was glad to see her at our recent Suitland High School reunion. I only wish that we had gotten together again. She will be missed but remembered fondly. Thinking of the Walker and Sunderland families and sending prayers.

Bryan and family, my heart feels your pain. Julie had a heart of gold and lived a life of constant care and service to everyone she met. For over 40 years, we shared our joys and sorrows, our dreams and disappointments, but Julie always smiled and spoke with such faith and support over every situation. She was so smart and loving! Her reason for living was to spread joy and take care of her family! Our “Jewel” will live on in our hearts forever as we continue her legacy of love for our families and each other. To the entire Walker and Sunderland families, I wish you peace and loving memories of Julie. God bless you all and know I will love and treasure my time with Julie forever.
