Family and Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that we are creating this page to help the Ramirez family in raising funds to cover burial costs and expenses to honor my sister-at-heart Julie Ramirez who lost her battle against cancer.

Julie was a bright star in the life of those she touched in her 27 short years. She is the second youngest of 8. Just two months after celebrating her brother's 1st heavenly birthday, she received news that no one wants to hear. She was diagnosed with stage 4 Uterine Cancer. On July 14th she was taken to the hospital as she didn't feel well, little did her family know that she would not be returning home. She had an even harder time as she was autistic and not comfortable being in strange unknown places. Although Julie was scared, angry, confused, and fed up with all the newly received bad news, she agreed to fight this disease head-on by starting chemotherapy on July 24th. Unfortunately, her body was not strong enough and she lost her battle on July 25th, 2023 and never made it home with her mother Juana, father Bernardino, 6 sisters and all her family.

Julie was still a kid who had her whole life ahead of her to reach her dreams and ambitions. She had dreams of traveling to Japan and had a great love for animals. She loved anime, teen drama, Black Pink, Disney movies, and uplifting stories. She was funny and kind-hearted. Julie and her brother Manny shared a love for Pokemon, their favorite was Pikachu. Before she passed, she had me show her videos of my dog Disney which she loved and wanted to keep my dog.

No one is ever prepared for this. Our family was broken after losing Manuel on May 15, 2022, and now without even time to get back on their feet (emotionally), we lost Julie on July 25, 2023. This has left her parents and sisters devastated as they don't understand how this could happen to their family again.

Please know that your prayers, kindness and donations are greatly appreciated as we navigate through this heartbreaking time.

Thank you again for supporting our family during this time.
