Its with great regret that we inform you of the passing of one of our dear friends and instructor, Julia Novak. Julia passed away Sunday, August 10th. We are deeply saddened by this loss and are still getting the information to share with all of her friends at the TKD school. Our prayers are with her family during this impossibly difficult time. As are the prayers of all the students at the school. She was a great teacher and a terrific friend to everyone here.
I want everyone to send in something for me to post for Julia and her family. Your thoughts, your memories, anything you want to say. Send it to my e-mail address and I will post it on her Memorial page.

The family of Julia would like donations to the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity in lieu of flowers.
Food for the Funeral Mass Reception should be taken to St. Mary's before the mass. There is a kitchen there and a committee that will handle all the food once it arrives. They do not need alot of food I am told. They have asked for a few vegetarian dishes and regular preparations of any others. No need to make large trays of food. The Funeral Committee at St. Mary's will be making most of the food arrangements.
