Our
Julie
Julie was someone we could never imagine our lives without. Someone who we thought will be there with us to the end; someone who would grow old and grey with us. For many of us who met Julie for the first time, we may have thought that she had a spoiled and sheltered life. But if you hung around Julie a little bit longer, those wrong impressions will quickly melt away and you would find that she is a capable and confident young lady. Julie took care of everything, and whatever she did she put her heart into it and never left it unfinished.
​
Julie was by nature a very selfless girl and always put her friends and family before herself. There was no distance too far to go or no sacrifice too great to make that Julie would not do. To us - She was the little girl who had the biggest heart - filled with kindness, generosity and love. She was so full of life that just by being around her you could even feel good about yourself. Whenever she was a guest at someone else's home, her warmth made anyone feel welcomed. Julie, somehow always knew how to comfort us whenever we needed it. No matter how bad or difficult the situation was, Julie found the right words for us, and helped us see things more clearly.
​
One of the most important things that Julie has taught us was to never leave a conversation in anger. Julie believed in saying goodbye on goodterms, as though each moment was our last with her. Last moments were precious to her and she wanted our memories with her to be good and happy. Even now everytime we remember to say, " I love you" to each other, part of the reason for doing so is Julie reminding us that somtimes, there aren't as many opportunities to do so as we take for granted.
​
We can no longer take Julie for granted anymore.
​
With whatever we decide and with every action we take, we know she will be there every step of the way. She is now living through each of us. In everything we do, we will give it our best, try our hardest and never give up, because Julie would never have let us settle for anything less. We know that Julie is forever in a very special place in each of our hearts. We carry her every where we go, thinking about her everyday. The truth is that Julie has touched our lives in many different ways. She has helped shape our perception of the world and has made us more aware and more understanding. And never will we be the same again.

It has been a while without you
It has been a while without you
Often it feels like we are miles apart
It's times like this I don't know what to do
to comfort this aching pain in my heart.
It has been a while since I heard your voice.
I miss the sweet sound of us laughing together.
Even over the little things we would rejoice,
In the cute stories we had for each other.
​
It has been a while since I felt your warm embrace.
Everyday I miss being with you, my beloved dear.
Maybe someday I will, with God's good grace.
But for now, my love, we won't be so near.
​
It has been a while since I have felt whole.
Forever, you will have a special place in my heart.
I'm not sure I can accept life for what it stole.
I don't know how I can even begin to start.
​
It has been a while and I have missed you so much.
All of us, really wish you would have stayed.
We all ache for your warm and loving touch.
I don't ever want my memories of you to ever fade.
​
It has been a while and I never got a chance to say goodbye.
I'll always be thinking about the many things we didn't get to say.
My secret tears will flow when I ask for the reason why.
I can't help but wonder if wasn't there any other way.
​
It has been a long while without you.
We will try our best to stop our grieving.
Without you we will try to start our lives anew.
But know that in your spirit we will never stop believing
