Julie Wyvonne Osborne Chalmers

To the family of Julie Chalmers, I'm sorry to hear of the loss of such a capable young woman. She was full of life and enjoyed the creation of our Heavenly Father. That showed that she had a good spirit for enjoying the outdoors. The Bible offers hope for our loved ones. Notice here (Isaiah 25:8) . . .He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken [it].
I hope this will be comforting to the family.

I love my little Julie and I am going to miss her with all of my heart. She was and is my bright light. I will miss her humor and zest for life. A conformist she was not; but she had a heart big as the universe. I know heaven has her deep in their wings and is keeping her safe. I hope she can steal away some time and come to see me. I don't mind looking like I am talking to myself. I talk to the angels all of the time when no one is looking. And then sometimes, when they are. Get up and sing Julie, come and see me; my door will always be open to you. I love you so much.

It was an enjoyable time with the family as we talked, cried and laughed together this week reminiscing the many fond memories of Julie’s life. She was described as a devoted and loving mother, free-spirited, a spitfire, creative, deeply inquisitive, and expressive. She was known by many to be willing to give of her own resources to meet the needs and desires of anyone… Everyone in the family affirmed how she made each person feel special and important!

Julie was also known in the family for her baking skills. Becca recounted last night that she loved to eat her mom’s famous cookies that she later realized were simply the product of a tollhouse recipe. Both Justin and Rebecca were the recipients of a caring mothers hand, as she would often do whatever it took to serve her children. Some might call them “spoiled”-- but aren’t we all?

The family recalled the holidays when we could not wait until she would bring over her cherry and apple pies. There was always a fight over who kept the leftovers-THAT IS, IF THERE WERE ANY! Her older sister Bobbie swears that the bread “natures own” was named after Julie, as she truly was NATURES OWN! She enjoyed nothing more than to spend time outdoors finding unique rocks and gems. Julie shared many hobbies with her sisters. As a matter-of-fact she came to visit our family in Montana one summer, which afforded her the opportunity to go Safire mining with my mom. The sisters often found themselves enjoying each other’s company making stained glass projects and recently, admiring the jewelry that they had made from an assortment of beads.

Though this day is a day to celebrate and commemorate the life of a mother (look at Justin and Becky), of a daughter (look at Nanny), of a sister (look at mom and Aunt Bobbie), of an aunt, and of a friend… We would be remiss not to contemplate our own lives during this time. I believe this time is a gift of God to evaluate the brevity and purpose of our own lives! John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not parish but have eternal life.” Later in the Gospel John writes, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.” It is a clear call to those who will believe and submit their lives to Him. For those of you that have, Paul writes this encouragement to us in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.

I love and miss you Aunt Julie!

As I sit thinking about Julie two words immediately come to mind: kind and unique. She was kind, sometimes to a fault, many times to her own detriment. She was unique...there will never be another Julie and I am saddened that this is so. She spoke to me many times about her children, her love for them, her pride in them, her hopes for their future happiness, and yes her regrets at things she wished she could do over. Julie loved her family and wished for their happiness.

May she find peace

No words can express how much I will miss Julie. She was a sister to me and someone that I knew would be the first to help or be there if even it was to lend a ear..I will always cherish the time we had together and know she will watch over us and stay close to our hearts. She had a special love for everyone in her life, especially her family. She couldn't do enough.
May we all continue to hold her in our hearts; and let her know how much we love her.
May God watch over you and carry you throught the darkness. Please know we are here for you and only a call away. Love forever and always,
Aunt Terry & Uncle Dennis & Heather

John & Nellie...

May happy memories fill your hearts and help you through this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Aunt Julie you were always one of my favorites even though I didn’t see you much. However, when ever we were together you always made me feel special, may you rest in peace.
Justin & Becca, my thought and prayers are with you during this tragic time in your life. No words can express the sorrow I feel for you. Throughout life we endure many things. However, loosing a parent is the toughest thing one must face. I’m truly saddened to see you both have to face this tragic lost at such a young age. Always remember you have family standing beside you to offer a hug when needed. My thought and prayers are always with you all. Love,

I want to first say how very sorry I am for your loss.
I find myself short of words, never did I imagine that something like this would happen and have tried so hard to think it is not so. I can however say how fortunate I was to have had the opportunity to have met Julie.
It's like we had known each other for years and that each time we saw each other we just picked up where we left off last. She was down to earth and had a capturing smile and gleam in her eyes which is how I'm going to always remember her.
Carlos, thought the world of her and loved her dearly and she him. We will meet her again in heaven.
Love, Mrs. R. Herrera & family
