Gonna miss Julie a ridiculous amount. Been thinking a lot about which memory to share as there are so many key moments of my life I shared with Jules. Like at my wedding when I was struggling to rewrite my vows and she came in and prayed with me, and gave everyone who tried to come near the room stern words to give me the space I needed. Or the time we attempted to bake a healthy, vegan cheesecake together. It was awful! But it looked great and we laughed and cried whilst chatting and baking that afternoon.
I think of how giving Jules was, of her time as a mentor, of her heart as a friend and even of her shoes (she lent me a pair for my wedding.) Jules was there for me through major crises and hearing what she overcame gave me hope for my own life. She’d survived so much and rebuilt a beautiful life with Dennis which inspired me to hope when I was in a dark place. I’ll never forget her strength when she told me she had cancer. Jules was beautiful, vulnerable strong and full of life. I’m grateful for her eye for beauty and glad she introduced me to Matt Smalls. I'll miss her loving rebuke given with a smile, her words of wisdom, her vivacious spirit and her constant DMs on instagram. Can’t put into words how sad I am that Jules isn’t with us, but I’m glad she’s not in pain and she’s with Christ (probably living her best life.) I feel like a better person for having known Julianna and I’ll forever be grateful for her mentorship and friendship. Sad we’ll never go out for another meal but grateful to have learnt from the way you loved Dennis, Alysia, your nieces, your siblings, your friends & family and God.
My prayers are with Dennis and the family
