Although Julie will be sadly missed by her family I think you can take comfort in the knowledge that she lived long enough to enjoy time with her grandchildren and great grandchidren. I know seeing them in her last days made her smile. My thoughts and prayers to all of you. I know you will keep her in your hearts for ever.
