Jules' Weblog

Alan,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time.

Alan,

Don't know what to say!

I didn't know Jules very well but I know she was a girl of great spirit. Your descriptions always gave her character and life.

I know she'll be keeping her eye on you from now on.

We are both thinking about you.

Take care.

Jane and David Purdham

Alan,

Our thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. If there is anything we can do to help you know where we are, our door is always open.

Alan I see u as my family and you are possibly in my eyes the strongest person I know for what you have done I know my family are very gr8ful *hug*

I wish I had met Julie when she was well. I have heard so many fun and happy stories about her and the mischief she got up to. Even when she was weak and struggling with her illness her personality still shone through. One of my favourite gestures of Julie’s was the middle finger! No words were needed and that was enough to give you her response. I’d only known Julie for the last 5 months of her life but what I saw was a strong, wonderful and loving young lady fighting for her life right up until the last minute. Her sense of humour never faded and I hope she continues to smile and keep up her lively spirits in heaven now.

Alan, I admire your strength and devotion. You’ve done a great job on updating us on Jules’s weblog. Even though I was there during Julie’s last minutes, it was still very difficult to read this morning, at work with tears rolling down my cheeks but I didn’t care who saw. At times like these emotions are far more important than pride.

Janet, you love for Julie was and still is unconditional. You never stopped for one minute to think about yourself and you always put everyone else first. You’re like the Duracell bunny that just keeps going! It’s a parent’s instinct to put their children first and you’ve not failed them.

It’s never easy to lose a loved one and as time goes on it will get better but you will still have the great memories of Julie in your minds. No one can ever erase them and even at the strangest of times Julie will be looking over you and wishing the best for you all. She’s at peace now and out of pain.

I am pleased to say I have met a loving and amazing family that have stuck together during this very difficult time. Stuart, Chris and Laura, there’s never a quiet moment when you’re together, someone is always playing tricks on the other and I’m sure Julie would instigate many of them if she were here now.

Life will change for you all but your love and memories of Julie will always be there. My heart goes out to you all.

All my love,

Alan and all,

I have been reading all the messages from friends and family. The words said can not express how her father and I feel. We are devastated by the fact that we have just been reunited with her and to have her so cruely taken away again.
She had so much to live for with you Alan, you made her so happy. Laura always told us how good you were for her. We will miss her always but will remember the good times we had, especially when she came to stay with us.

All of us send you our love at this time.

Love from Bryan(dad) and Angie
