To the family of Ms Julia, Her smile that was always so gentle and her fun loving spirit will remain forever precious in the hearts and minds of all that knew her. She was forever putting others first. She never once in all the years that I knew and loved her, said "no" to anyone who needed a helping hand. What a bright star Jesus has welcomed home. Just imagine the welcoming she received from her Daughter and Husband. Her Brothers and Sisters surrounding her, hugging her tight. To her Children, Daughter's Sybelene & Rebecka Son's Tymothy & Daniel, Brother, Charlie and Sisters, Leoda, Essie & Camilla. Our prayers and love are out pouring to you. Untill we ourselves see her again.
