Julie, where do we even begin?

It is hard to put into words what losing someone like you means. You were one of those truly special people who filled a room with warmth, kindness and love. A devoted wife, a wonderful mum, mother-in-law, grandma, sister, auntie and friend, not only to me but also my boys. You always asked how they were and never missed one of their celebrations.
You meant so much to so many people.

Your family was always at the very heart of everything you did. The love you had for them was endless, and the love they have for you will continue long after this heartbreaking goodbye.

You leave behind so many precious memories, stories, laughs and moments that will be treasured forever. Your life touched so many people, and the sadness felt at losing you is simply a reflection of just how deeply you

We can take comfort in knowing that your love, your spirit and your memory will live on through your wonderful family and everyone fortunate enough to have known you.

Rest peacefully, Julie. You were so very loved, and you will be so incredibly missed.

Remembering Julie Birch, and the many times she touched my life. Her devotion to her three children, kindness to me and my children and the huge smile every time we met. An elegant, proud and faithful lady who seemed to stay ‘forever young’ - thank you Julie for being you - RIP
