Dear Ivan, Pip and family, I am so sorry to hear of Julie's sudden passing. I have really really fond memories of Julie from my years grazing at the Redwood Street paddocks. She was always there to keep an eye on us kids and lend a hand or the float if needed. I caught up with her over Facebook a couple of years ago and it was lovely to touch base again with her. Thinking of you all. Ride high Julie.

Such a shock. I Still cant believe it. You were so fit and full of energy and such a giving lady.
You were the most amazing Wife and Mother and Nana. Even Monty had you wrapped around his Paws. He also loved your walks and treats.
All the beautiful baking and cooking you did. You always thought of others. Your kindness will be dearly missed.
Your Cake Decorating skills were Incredible. You were so Talented and Creative... yet you were so Humble. You took us Newbies under your wing and taught us so much. We will always Treasure those skills and will always Remember what a fabulous Mentor you were. We had some lovely days learning from you. It was an absolute Pleasure to know you. Deepest Sympathy to you all. You were exceptionally lucky to have Julie. She really was a very Special Kind Lady. Treasure all your Precious Memories.
