Julie Fikstad

I am so very grateful for the friend I had in Julie. Living across from you this past 25 years was not only a gift but a blessing. Many times Julie's nursing skills came into action and how grateful I am for her expertise, knowledge and giving ways. I will miss the long walks, especially the last month of her life. We would talk about everything and anything and how I will miss those wonderful moments with my walking partner. Over the years, the bond we had will always be a treasure to relive whenever I need my "Julie time". How she loved her family! We talked about that all the time and she'd sparkle inside out whenever they were mentioned. Thank you my friend for your friendship and loads of fun through the years. You are a jewel in my crown of life and I will forever miss you and your special ways. I will remember you always and the gift you were to me. Love always to you and your wonderful family.

I met and worked closely with Julie on the Post Partum floor at Jordan Valley Hospital. I among many other nurses counted on Julie's lactation expertise on many days there on the floor. Her talent was amazing and her patience unwavering. I met with her at the gym some there in Sandy sometimes. She was always positive. Spoke highly of her family and spoke of her love for them and knew they were the most important thing in her life. She was a true friend and showed her friendship to me during one of the hardest times of my life. I am eternally grateful for her example as a nurse and as a friend. I loved her and will miss her very much. She was truly the kind of person You wanted to be more like after getting to know her. I wish more people had a little "Julie" in them. My sincere condolences, Julie

My condolences to all of Julie's loved ones. Although I did not get a chance to get to know Julie well, I did get to interact with her through our shared involvement in the birthing community. She was a bright light and will be so missed. Sending warmth and healing, Angela

Dear Lynn & Girls, I'm so sorry to hear that Julie has passed on.She was always so nice and friendly to me and she was so good to Margie. She was such a special person. I didn't know her well, but her amazing and unique light will be missed in this world. Much love to all of you. Laurie

I knew Julie through the lactation community. I was so sad to hear about the cancer. My condolences in this time of grief.

My sympathies and love go out to all of Julie's family. You were the most important thing for her. Your lives were her life. And now my friend will be with you and me in love and spirit. I will be there on Thurs to visit in person. Julie! I miss you so much. I was going to visit SLC in March and had my own crisis that knocked me down so far .I could barely get out of bed. I thought I would go in June to see you. I wish I had known! You were my best friend for almost 30 years and it breaks my heart we didn't get to say goodbye to each other. I love you, my friend, and you are always in my heart. <3
