My name is Melanie Paul and I was part of the second incarnation of The Hot Mammas, for 5 years, when we were a quartet.
The news that Julie had been diagnosed with ALS in April 2024 was a shocking and horribly ironic blow to someone who made a living speaking and singing.
Julie, on and off stage, was a huge part of mine and my sons life for many years as I first met her singing with Good Noise Vancouver Gospel Choir.
My hope is that despite any chasms that have formed between us and The Hot Mammas, that my son, husband and i can at least tell Julie what she means and meant to us before we can’t. Thank you providing this platform.
