From Angela 20th May 2009

I remember Julia talking enthusistically about going to Uni to train as a teacher. Little did I realise then that teaching was in her genes, as shortly after that I think I turned up at Greenleaf to support a Deaf child ( Ismael), only to meet up with you both. On another occasion I sat next to Julia at a Gwyn Jones fashion show, organised by the Friends. We sat and watched the fashions modeled on the catwalk and had a chance to buy them at ridiculously knocked down prices. Such was our entertainment in the 90s! I remember Julia for her laughter and enthusiasm and for her positive outlook. Once her chemotherapy kicked in I remember her saying at least she would not need to shave her legs or pluck her eye brows, what a spirit that showed. She is fondly remembered.
