    To Bruce, Craig, Delphia and your families&thinking if you at this sad time. Your parents were the best. I frequently think of the banter I had with K J. And of course the quiet guiding presence your Mum always was. Do find comfort in the fact that Julie knew exactly where she was headed, a faithful servant resting in the arms of Jesus. Sending prayers to you all at this very sad time xx

    To Delphia, Bruce, Craig and Lance,
    I was very saddened to hear of Julies passing. She was a truly wonderful lady with a kind heart, gentle wisdom, and a warm presence that touched so many lives especially mine, growing up.
    Julie grew up with my mum, Dorothy, and their friendship spanned years., beginning up at Kaniere as children. I have fond memories of Julie as I grew up, as a graceful and caring lady who always seemed to know the right thing to say. Whether we were playing up or simply needed a little guidance, she had a special way of gently steering us in the right direction.
    She will be remembered with great affection and respect, and my thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
    With deepest sympathy, Brett Abbott.

    Dear Bruce, Delphia, Craig,Lance and families.
    So sorry to hear of Julies passing. What a loyal friend and nursing colleague. So many special memories of working together for such a long number of years will always be in my thoughts as a privilege. Her wisdom caring compassionate approach to all she cared for. A neighbour of Brians growing up too.
    Brian worked with Keith and his love and respect for Julie was never ending. Such a gorgeous devoted couple. You can all take comfort from knowing they were both loved within the community.
    Hold your memories in your hearts forever. Love from us both. Chetyl and Brian.
