Julie Steiskal: 1978-2008

The day was sunny and full of light. The air was crisp and clear. The boy was sleepy yet ready. The girl was knocking at the door, bright and talkative as ever.

I remember the day like it was yesterday.

I watched my friend gently interact with my son, making friendship right in front of my eyes. With each shutter release, she created scene after scene of my son's life for the camera to forever capture.

I am deeply grateful for that day.

I am deeply grateful for knowing my friend Julie.

She made everyone she touched feel loved.
