Our sparking sunflower & ray of sunshine.
A daughter, sister, granddaughter, friend, colleague & teacher. A lover of cats, all things shiny, crystals, ice cream & adventure. Julia is many things to so many people & always stayed true to who she was; authenticity, confidently & unapologetically Julia. Our Julia.
Julia was fierce; a fighter. She said what she thought & did what she planned. The loyalty & commitment shown to her loved ones was enviable, as was the determination & pursuit she had for life.
On 10 October 2022 she grew her wings & took her sunshine to heaven. She was incredibly special & touched the hearts & lives of everyone she met – all these hearts broke into a million pieces & our world will never be the same. However Julia lived life to its full potential, she always tried to be positive, & she loved fun & excitement! The life that Julia lived, was more life than some of us will ever know. She has left behind the most beautiful memories, spirit, energy, positivity & passion for love & life - sunflowers will always be reminder of that. The life Julia left behind, is now up to us to live. Love big, be spontaneous, hug often, spend the money, speak your mind & stay true to you, just like Julia did.
In the end, we all become stories & in Jules, we have them all. The heartbreak, pain & loss we feel is worth it, for having her in our lives was a privilege. She had a profound impact on so many lives & we hope that she will be proud of the people she helped to make us be.
Julia's family & friends would like to express their sincere thanks to everyone for their love & support. She has done so much to create awareness & understanding for NF, in addition to fundraising for the CTF - please consider donating in her memory to acknowledge her efforts & ensure her message continues to be shared.
Julia, we will forever love you.
