An angel called Julie

 
This is my dear friend Julie. She passed away this afternoon at the age of 46 after losing her battle with cancer. She leaves a husband and a 13 year old daughter. We have been friends since we went to antenatal class together and our daughters are best friends too. You couldn't wish for a kinder more selfless friend. She will be missed by so many. Rest in peace my friend.

Oh Sally, this is so sad and so unfair at such an early age. You must be devastated at the loss of your dear friend. My thoughts are with you.

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend, Sally - you'll miss her, that's clear. At least she left her mark and will be remembered for what she was and how she lived. Hope you'll soon be able to remember her with fondness, rather than sadness. Death is so cruel.

Oh Sally that is so sad and heartbreaking. I feel so bad for her daughter and husband, she is far too young to die:( You must be feeling a terrible lose too for such a lovely friend.

Oh Sal .. this is so sad. What can I say to help .. .. nothing!! But my thoughts are with you.

Yes, you have lost a good friend today .. .. but you have over time seen your good friend struggling and that must have been awful for you too and even more so for her young daughter and husband. It is horrible to see someone slipping away from us.

If we are fortunate we all have a point in our life when everything is perfect .. .. oh to freeze time at that point and live that perfect life for ever!! Sadly though we can't and that is why we have memories .. .. treasure them and take comfort from them.

Sending you hugs.

Love Jules xx

So sorry to hear your sad news Sally, it's so distressing when that happens.

I know what it's like as I've just lost one of my crafting friends too of the same thing although she was in her early 70s.

Sending you lots of hugs.
