Sharing sad news-CalGal

Oh Pinehouse,

damn

Hi Pinehouse,,

Thanks for letting us know.  My deepest sympathy goes out to her friends and family. I had not been on the site for awhile and sent her an e-mail after I found out about it traveled to her brain.   I was privileged to have met with you both at the Mets conference a couple of years ago.   She definitely was a fighter and from her e-mails it sounds like the last couple of years she made the most of her life by traveling and spending time with her friends and family.  It does give me some peace to know that she will be with her mother that also lost her life way too early to this horrible disease.

I know this a big loss for you since you were so close. Both of you have been a wonderful inspiration to me.  Know that both of you have been pioneers’  to all  the triple negative and BRCA community by going through so many clinical trials and different combination of chemo’s.  I think I have her address, but if you can reply or PM me with it along with a link to her obituary.

I'm so sad to hear this.  From her posts I could tell how full of life and love she was.  f**k this disease.
With love and sorrow,
Denise

This is such sad news. I never knew anyone like Julie. She was an amazing woman and so very dear.
My heart is breaking. We have had so many losses lately.
May God bless her and give comfort to her dear husband, and warm hugs to all of you as well.
Sadly,

Hello all,

Thanks, everyone, for your prayers and thoughts for Julie.  She'd be proud and honored to know she helped so many of you fight this terrible disease.

There will be a service on Friday, February 27 in Saratoga, California.  Julie grew up there and will be buried next to her beloved Mom, whose life was also cut short by breast cancer.

There will also be a service in Los Angeles, probably the following weekend.  I'll post some details when it's more finalized.

For those of you who may want to attend the Saratoga service, please email or PM me and I'll give you details.

Pictures tell the story better.  Here's one of me and my Angel:

Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your extraordinarily brave wife, whom I never met but feel I knew in a small but profound way through reading her posts on this forum.  Although i know her loss is painful and incomprehensible, I hope you take some solace in the fact that she is no longer suffering.  My prayers and best wishes to you and your family.  As Nancy said, she will not be forgotten.

I am very sorry for your loss.
My prayers are with you and your family.

Tris, I am so sorry.  I have been worried since our Julie had such a hard time at the holidays - then disappeared from the boards.  I dreamed of her over and over last night.
