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

DeleteAbsolutely heartbroken. There are no words. She has left you with the brightest memories and her smiles and humour will live on in all of your family. Sally and Sophie, it’s your chance to continue to sparkle and shine just like mum did. There are many words that spring to mind when I still think about her. Inspiration is my favourite one. Much love to you all. ��❤️��❤️��

DeleteTo survive without Mom at the very early age is very sad and my heartful condolences to all of you. Cancer is such a deadly disease that wont leave anyone. Only certain right kind of treatment may help to cure cancer.
