Over the course of 18 years, I have made many promises to my best friend about how things would be at the end of her life. Somehow, I never actually thought it was going to happen. I’m doing everything in my power to honor Julie’s wishes and hope to throw the party she asked for, full of the people she loved most. She had so much heart and cared so deeply for all of her family and friends. The idea of this event is to make sure her playlist is heard by those she loved, stories are shared, laughs are had, and new memories made.

The event hall is going to be $900, and the rest of the money will be used to print photos of her and buy supplies to do this party right! There will be a cash bar, and the plan is to make food from Julie’s list of recipes from over the years of her life. She was so loved by so many and truly deserves the absolute best.
