I managed to find Julias guestbook and felt it appropriate to leave this from all here at ASF.


 
I am so very saddened to learn of Julia's sudden passing.

Julia's absence here was conspicuous and I wished that all was OK in her world. Julia was a special lady, I could tell that from the simple fact that she reached out to me via PM and the subsequent exchanges we had. I am lucky to have made her brief acquaintance.

I have and will continue to miss her posts.

R.I.P Julia.

I received an email from someone, using her personal email address, confirming her passing.

The saddest thing I've heard, for a long time, jeez I'll miss her.

Thanks for sharing that SP. Although I was pretty sure from the obituary that it was our Julia, there was that little bit of remote possibility it wasn't her. It is so sad and it was a shock last night when I found her obituary. Like many others, Julia and I corresponded by email for many years.

While we had opposing opinions at times, I found her to be extremely compassionate. I knew she lived in Hervey Bay as she offered to have the two girls over one of the holiday periods some time ago to give us a break which only highlights her kindness and generosity of spirit.

She did a lot of community work and I remember her commenting how she was helping struggling kids with school work who had learning difficulties and other social issues. Her community efforts seemed to be tireless and I believe she will not only be missed here at ASF but also the many to whom she gave friendship and care in her own community.

I miss her too. RIP Julia.

Thank you, Tech, beautiful words which I'm sure convey the thoughts from ASF members. I will also add something to the guest book which I see is only up until the 2nd of May.
 
There is so much one could say about her understanding, sensitivity and love for all of us here at ASF.

And we loved you too Julia, your immortality is within us going forward and for making this site a better place.
 
Just logged on and can't believe what I am reading.

This is so sad. I have had many pm discussions with Julia and she always seemed like a delightful person that I hoped I would meet one day.

RIP Julia.

She kept us on the ball by her relevant forensic dissections of errant posts.
Hope that her best friend is being well looked after.
 
RIP Julia.

I have exchanged PM's with Julia a number of times over the years. She welcomed me when I first joined ASF, she congratulated me when I started a trade journal, she thanked me for being friendly to another new poster, she PM'd me when I mentioned the birth of my daughter... and these are just the ones that I can remember.

She did all these without any motives or agenda, other than making ASF a more desirable community for all to enjoy.

She will be missed.

I am shocked at the news, Julia and I were often (although not always) on the opposite sides discussing politics but I never disagreed with her common sense approach to the markets.

A big contributor here to ASF across the forums and will be missed.

RIP
 
There's nothing that I can say that hasn't already been said.

Thankyou for your dedication to this forum, Julia. Memories of your intelligence, compassion and generous nature, will live on as the contents of your many posts continue to touch the lives of current and future forum participants.
 
Very sad day ...I only new her for a short time and remembered when I received my first PM from Julia.. I really enjoyed her comments and her reasoning in her posts.
She will be missed.

RIP JULIA.
 
Indeed very sad news. I enjoyed Julia's POV. I was quite shocked when I heard this....rest in peace Julia.
 
RIP Julia.

You will be greatly missed. Sometimes we didn't see eye to eye on some topics, but a few PM's later, all was good. Very level headed, intelligent, big heart and l appreciated all your help on some private issues.
 
Given the general content of replies to this thread, perhaps in her honour we might all try to exhibit a little more of the qualities we admired in her.

A recurring theme is her willingness to talk civilly off line via pm's to members - often when there was not a common world view.

A number of us have noted her aversion to conflict and her desire to resolve it where possible.

Maybe if we all try to be more respectful of the views of others and less certain and dogmatic about our own we might make this community a better place - something that was clearly close to Julia's heart.

Particularly in the chat and political threads there are many who post with venemous language and clear hostility to those who dont share their world views, lets all try and be a little more tolerant and inclusive.

I suspect Julia would very much like that.
 
RIP Julia.

She was a dedicated contributor, and as members have attested a caring and thoughtful person.
 
posting a second time.

Julia changed my view with regard to Euthanasia and had my utmost respect for her intelligence.
RIP
 
Julia was always a voice of reason, intelligenge and one that didn't need to be part of the herd. I always enjoyed her take and shared a few pms with her. she added a lot to the discussions in here. Very saddened to hear about this.
I have no doubt she will have made arrangements for her dog.
RIP
