    I am so happy we were able to spend time with her during her visit to California. Our family is very upset that we are not able to attend the funeral. She was so special to each of us. I keep hearing that cute giggly laugh that only she had! She will forever be missed and remembered in our home.

    Dear Michael and Katie,

    Your mom’s obituary this morning brought back such memories of her, your dad, and the two of you at the 7 a.m. Sunday mass at St. John’s. I was the cantor during those years when you were altar servers, first Michael, then the two of you together, then just Katie. I grew close to your mom during those years, because as a communion minister she was often part of that Sunday team. I remember her smile, full and warm just like in the obit picture. I was saddened to see that you also have lost your dad. Now you have each other. I just lost my mom in July, also a Julia, and while I had my mom until she was almost 93, I know that no matter their ages, our parents are dear to us and a deep part of who we are. I will be thinking of you both during these days of prayers, burial, and final goodbyes. Peace and all good, Judith Galas

    I was so blessed to have known Julia while I lived in Lawrence. She had a smile that could light up a room. I will always remember visiting the house as a small girl, or staying over while my parents were out of town. My deepest condolences go out to Katie and Michael. While it is still a sad time, may everyone feel comfort in knowing Julia is now eternally happy.

    My Dear Julia how much we will miss you. Katie and Michael your mom meant the world to our family. I will never forget her friendship and how we worked together practically ever day at St Johns School office. And many other duties she gave me . She always had great hugs and smiles to greet me. She loved her job and everyone in her life. I have many many memories of your mother and I will always keep them in my heart. Especially when she gave me my baby shower with my daughter Nicole. Her kindness meant so much to me. Over the years after the kids graduated we didn’t see each other much but she was always in my prayers.

    To the Family: I am so sorry for your loss. The death of a loved one is never an easy matter for any of us to cope with, but we do have the assurance of our Heavenly Father that he will comfort us in all our tribulations. (Psalms 55:22) Death was never a part of the Creator’s purpose for mankind, so, he has furnished a guarantee by means of his Son, Christ Jesus, that we will see our loved ones again. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28)I pray that you may draw comfort from these words.



  11. Alphonso Hutton on January 7, 2013 at 7:00 pm

    Mama Self. It has been such a pleasure to know you. Thank you for ALWAYS welcoming me into you home, and making me feel like family. I’ll never forget the day you actively participated in all the festivities with us during the graduation party. Katie will without a doubt be a “cool mom” like yourself. When I get my jayhawk tattoo, I think I’ll get it on my ankle as well. It will be my tribute to you. Love you always. Alphonso Hutton

    Hello wonderful Saenz family…
    I don’t know if you’ll remember me but I was one of Julia’s chemo nurses these past couple of years and also treated her hubby back in 2010. I am a hospice nurse now after being in oncology nursing for 19 years. I just cannot begin to tell you how much Julia has touch my life. I loved caring for her. Her zest for life, love and embracing every day just blessed everyone she came in contact with. I am a better nurse, mom and person because of Julia. She will forever have a place in my heart. You are such a remarkable family I am so very blessed to have gotten to know.
    I am so, so sorry for your loss. Peace be with you all.

    My name is Mrs.Karisa Jack, from U.S.A,New York City. I never believed in love spells or magic until i met this spell caster once. when i went to Africa in July this year on a business summit. i ment a man called Dr. AIGBE.He is powerful he could help you cast a spells to bring back my love’s gone,misbehaving lover looking for some one to love you, bring back lost money and magic money spell or spell for a good job.i’m now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to marry left me 3 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down cos our relationship has been on for 2 years… i really loved him, but his mother was against me and he had no good paying job. so when i met this spell caster, i told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him..at first i was undecided,skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try. and in 6 days when i returned to New York, my boyfriend (is now my husband ) he called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his mom and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married..i didn’t believe it cos the spell caster only asked for my name and my boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do… well we are happily married now and we are expecting our little kid,and my husband also got a new job and our lives became much better. in case anyone needs the spell caster for some help, email address aigbespelltemple@yahoo.com

    I am miss Sharon from U K, I promise to share this testimony all over the world once my boyfriend return back to me, and today with all due respect i want to thank DRMARKROBBIN for bringing joy and happiness to my relationship and my family. I want to inform you all that there is a spell caster that is real and genuine. I never believed in any of these things until i loosed my boyfriend, I required help until i found drmarkrobbinspelltemple@yahoo.com a grate spell caster, And he cast a love spell for me, and he assured me that I will get my boyfriend back in two days after the spell has been cast. two days later, my phone rang, and so shockingly, it was my boyfriend who has not called me for past 10 years now, and made an apology for the heart break, and told me that he is ready to be my back bone till the rest of his life with me. DRMARKROBBIN released him up to know how much i loved and wanted him. And opened his eyes to picture how much we have we have share together. As I’m writing this testimony right now I’m the most happiest girl on earth and me and my fiance is living a happy life and our love is now stronger than how it were even before our break up. So that’s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe.All thanks goes to DRMARKROBBIN for the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in situation you are undergoing a heart break, and I assure you that as she has done mine for me, she will definitely help you too. drmarkrobbinspelltemple@yahoo.com



  25. liliana on April 25, 2013 at 11:28 am

    Ekaka I must thank you! I know it’s been a while. I apologize to get back with you so late. Do you remember me telling you that me and my sister wanted a love spell and beauty spell done. I chose you and my sister chose another psychic. Well to update you I been attracting more men than I can count with that love and beauty spells you cast. But, my sister is so jealous, because it’s been 5 months now and no results for her and the other psychic or spell caster she chose didn’t help her. I told her to have you to help her. Well hopefully this time she will listen to me. I’m living proof that your spells work!” thanks ekakaspelltemple@yahoo.com

  27. Mr. Cardenas on August 13, 2013 at 8:22 am

    My name is Mr Cardenas,my wife was having affair with a senior secretary in her office. I love this woman so much that i would not want to share her with any body. i told her to retire from the job and i would take care of all her needs but she would take it because she is been embraced by everybody in her office, this normally leads to quarrel every-time. i tried all i can to please her and she will promise to be good , some days later she will turn back to her normal way.
    i was nearly loosing out, i could not focus in my job, my whole life was full of sorrow and i was thinking i should kill the other man my self and put an end to all this until i saw a testimony from a blog on how DR EDIONWE could cast a love spell to bring lovers back no matter what is behind the disappointment. so i decided to write him via email. edionwesolutiontemple@yahoo.com and now all my wishes are exactly as i wanted. She told me everything that has happened secretly in the past and i forgave her as DR EDIONWE instructed me to and she loves me and care for me as i ever wanted. i know there are many spells that do not work but i want to assure all you out there no matter what you have been trough to have faith and believe that this is the final solution to your problem.
    Even if my job is taking most of my time, the little free time i have , i will share the good news to everyone in the world because i know that with love brings happiness and hope for a long life.



  28. timothy on August 19, 2013 at 4:35 am

    Two weeks ago I woke up with instincts that my live in boyfriend was cheating on me and that I need to look through his cell phone. To my surprise I found a few texts from two different girls. One said, “she had miss him very much” and the others said ” she wanted to wake up with him in his mouth”, and ” how much she had loved him.” When I confronted him he said I wasn’t sweet enough to him and that he has given everything to me and still I wasn’t happy. He also said that they were only texts messages and they didn’t mean a thing to him. I didn’t believe him and I don’t want to compromise myself and live in a situation where there isn’t security in my relationship. I no longer trust him, so i met a man DR OKOSUN, okosunspelltemple@gmail.com who cast a love spell for my and the guy where in love with me again immediately he drove the other two girls way and ask for forgiveness thank you okosunspelltemple@gmail.com

    I knew Julia in the late 1970s when she and Jim were dating, and attended their wedding! Loved both of them. Her smile was infectious and her heart was beautiful. I’m sorry to hear both of them have passed. My condolence to all of the family.
