"We've lost a true original. Julia Carson was honest, and brave, and a lioness in causes she believed in. But she was also pure of heart, and hers was the heart of a servant. There was determination, and resolve, and genuine conviction in Julia, but never meanness.

 

And she was such fun.  It was rare to leave her presence without a smile.  And after the sadness fades a bit, we'll still have that. I know I'll think of her often, and always with a smile."
