I knew Julie from my days at WPS she was a kind soul and sweet person. I had no clue she had ties to Antigo.
Ecker family:
Have to say it was suprising to hear my only and favorite Aunt and also my god mother had passed. She was an awesome and caring women who was unique and just a tad crazy sometimes, but we are all like that in our own ways some more then others. My favorite memory with my aunt is when i stayed for the summer and she took me out to karaoke and i sang me and bobby mcgee by janis joplin a favorite of my mom and dads which is also a favorite of mine because of that night. She told me stories all night about my dad and we laughed and cried together for most of the night, ill never forget that night because she made me feel closer to my dad and helped me understand just a bit more of who he was as a person, for that i dont think i can ever thank her enough. From the Eckers in PA: Fly high Aunt Julie you will forever be loved and missed dearly.
Dear Bill, There are no words to express how sad I am about the loss of my dear friend from Antigo High School. Her infectious laugh and wide-grinned smile will be in my mind every time I think of "Jewels".
Dear Jewels, "Sweet 16 turned 31, and then they shot the starting gun, but no one told us when to run." Your time to stop running has come to an end, but you will "run on" in my mind 'til it is my turn to stop running. On the day of your burial, I will play "Stairway to Heaven" and think of all the good days we had together, cruzin' and partyin' around town, high school dances, Polar Lake, the Dells, etc. I am blessed to have those memories with you in them. We are still "neat girls", 4ever! Big Hugs, Kate
