As many of you will know Julie passed away in the early hours of Wednesday 20th February. She continued to fight the cancer with courage and humour until the end. Her pain from the tumour in her back has been complex and the doctors needed to tweak the drugs to try and keep it under control right up to the end.
Whilst she had hoped that her stay in the hospice would be a short one (5 - 10 days) to get the pain under control she felt safe with the staff of the hospice being around 24hrs a day.
We would all like to thank everyone who has looked after her since coming home from hospital in October, from the carers who made her smile, the district nurses and the staff at St Peters Hospice who supported her at home and then took great care of her in the Hospice.
The funeral will be in St Marys Church, Almondsbury at 12.00 Monday 11th March. Julie was very adamant about no flowers and any donations will be going to St Peters Hospice.
Thank you for reading Julies Blog
John, Sally and Sophie.

Still here but meeting more celebrities
The hospice has been managing to sort out my pain which is good and we had everything sorted out for me to go home on Monday. It took a while to sort out everything since we needed to find a new care company, but eventually that was sorted out and i met them here as well as them going to check that everything was ok at home. It was so last Friday everything was in place.
But over the weekend i felt worse. I became a lot more tired and started sleeping most of the day and needed more help eating and drinking. So i am still here enjoying the hospitality at St Peters Hospice.
Whilst it would be nice to be home i feel much safer here and when i need help with the pain it gets sorted out straight away.
Anyway on to the celebrities. Today was the launch of the Hospice Ready Steady Bake and Briony from Great British Bake Off came in today to judge the cake entries here and came in to my room as well.
This afternoon I've been eating lots of cake but still managed to eat a good tea as well. Tomorrow I'm looking forward to meeting Noel Edmonds.
