Julie was the daughter of my father's brother. There was at least a ten year age difference between us. I remember her as a baby, a beautiful baby and as a sweet young child. Brian always hovered over her, playing the role of the protective big brother. Julie, may peace be upon you. Martha, if

I got to know Julie a few years ago through a common art friend. Soon, she was a long distance friend and advisor whom I would meet once-a-year at LACMA, and I really looked forward to our annual lunch together with Bindu. I told her about a Bollywood song from the 1980's in which the hero, sings

I hope you are smiling and dancing from above, dear Jules.

Julie's wisdom, inquisitiveness, and caring nature touched my life greatly - love to Tony, Seth, and her whole family

I've always loved this picture and remember opening the door to the apartment that night and bursting into fits of laughter upon seeing that fabulous blue wig and Julie's fabulous smile.

I think it was actually Julie's idea to throw a Burns Supper, even though I was the Scottish one! She came up with the design for our invitation AND managed to source an authentic haggis in LA, nevermind that she was vegetarian at the time! She brought so many of us together through her love of life

Julie, Tony, Hillary & Phil in Los Olivos the night before my wedding in 2007.

I met Julie in 1996 at the Getty. We both were new working there, recent college grads and we became friends (along with my sister, Hillary, and many, many others who worked alongside us). She was always someone I admired - a great friend, very intelligent and creative, nice to everyone - everyone l

I was so touched when Julie and Tony threw me a party after getting my PhD- it was such a kind and generous gesture. Then, when they asked me to make their wedding cake, I was so honored. Their wedding was such a beautiful day, and I remember just letting the love of Julie and Tony wash over me. Jul

I had the pleasure of meeting Julie thanks to another friend at LACMA. Though we did not see each other often, whenever we did it was always a pleasure to catch up and chat with her. She was always encouraging regarding my art and kind with any resources she could share. I remember one time, I went

Julie opened so many creative doors for me. She first came to see me and my father Rajen Sukhadia perform Bollywood songs together at the Machine Project in Echo Park, LA in 2007. At the end of the event, she encouraged me to think bigger and to come to LACMA to meet with her colleagues. Over time,

Julie and I were best friends in the 2nd and 3rd grade. And as it happens in a big city like LA, we went on to different schools and lost touch. In the '90s I became friends with Tony and reconnected with Julie when they started dating. We became friends again before realizing a few months later th

On our trip to Italy, Julie was a personal, occasional and patient tour guide into the world of art.

One of the many qualities I really admired about my sister was that she could camp in the woods with no toilet (no problem!), walk through the slums of Calcutta, or stay in some dignitary's palace in Pakistan... she built a wide range of friends and associates. Here is a condolence letter from the F

(To me, this image relates to what Julie radiated--mother, wife, friendship, empathy, and luminosity: it documents our December 2016 Santa Lucia celebration--a Scandinavian winter tradition where we practice empathy for others by bringing song, light, and a baked goods called Lussekatter to nei

I was a professor of Julie's at UCLA, and a member of her doctoral dissertation committee. I wanted to share this letter of reference I wrote for Julie some 10 years ago, when she was first applying for funding to travel to India. Julie, of course, got the funds, did the research, and successfully c

I’ve known Julie for about 20 years. We met while we were both working in archives at the Getty Research Institute, and since have shared many parties, barbeques, gallery and museum visits, concerts, game nights, Halloweens, thanksgivings, new years, along with both of our weddings (Tony officiat

Or in this case laughing uncontrollably. This was last summer when we took our littles to SD and LegoLand. A little wine and a lot of jokes were involved. my stomach and cheeks hurt because I laughed for so long.

Julie and I knew each other in college and I can't believe she's gone. We kept in touch, off and on, since that time and the last time we spoke was in Boston. Julie had come for work and I was living there at the time. We wandered about the museum of fine arts and caught up on our lives. I think s
