Julie’s lasting gift to the friends and family who had gathered to remember my dear younger brother was a beautifully crafted eulogy that honoured our memories of him with a beautiful and uplifting celebration of his life.
Her words were delivered with sincere compassion and made us laugh, made us cry and had us nodding along with our own private memories as she perfectly captured the essence of the meaningful life he had led with all of the values he held, and why he meant so much to us.
When a loved one unexpectedly passes away, It leaves the family and friends stunned and distraught. We didn’t really know what to do next and being completely unprepared, we were unaware that someone like Julie was out there until a word of mouth recommendation shortly before the funeral.
At short notice and with complete understanding of the situation we were in, Julie was able to alleviate the stress and anxiety that had built up by gently guiding us though the process and whilst working under pressure crafted and delivered the most beautiful service that meant the world to us all.
I will be forever grateful that Julie was able to turn a day of anticipated anguish and solemn dread into a beautifully poignant day of celebration and remembrance. It was so personal to each and every one of us, and the praise afterwards amongst the large gathering of his loved ones was universal.
Thank you. x
