In Loving Memory of one of my dearest and closest friends
Julie Sutterfield 11/19/69 to 11/02/07, Julie was awesome. A firey red head, witty personality, understood my husband's corny humor, and a fabulous mother to her little girl Audrey. Julie was diagnosed in September with a grade IV Glioblastoma. We lost her the first part of November. She gave me strength, she lightened me up and she was always here for me when I needed her. I will always think of you and I miss you terribly. All my love to you!

To the "Treehouse Girls" Through our journey with Julie's passing the three of us were by her side each and every day of the last two months of her life. We laughed, we cried, we questioned, we sobbed but through it all we gained major strength and were given new relationships with each other to move forward with. We have each other now to remember our dear friend. To watch over Audrey and shower her with love. Julie named us her treehouse girls. We each have a key to hold onto. A key to Julie's heart and soul. This was something we giggeled about in hospice. We were in the treehouse. You had to have the password to come in. It made Julie feel safe and gave her some sense of relief, to feel like she really wasn't where she was at. One day we will all be together in the Big Treehouse Jewels. Until then hold down the fort.

My Jack Ingram Look Alike, this has been fun. A Texas music artist Jack Ingram plays around the Panhandle quite a bit. Well not so much anymore since he's struck it big, but everytime we go out to listen to music or to a nice restaurant David gets approached asking if he's him. We have gotten to know Jack and when the two stand side by side, it blows your mind. They even have the same birthday but Dave is 5yrs. older. Ha! Mmmm. is he really 5yrs. older???
