Thanks!
 
So incredibly saddened to hear of this. Julia was such a kind, compassionate and caring person.

I wish there was something I could do to equate to a moment of silence. The forum has lost a good one.

Nice work Joe, will go and make a donation now.
 
Julia made a lot of effort to make ASF a community. To find out she has passed is heart wrenching news. Lost for words.
 
I am yet another whom Julia contacted not long after joining ASF. We are/were the same age and communicated via PM and normal emails.

A very considered lady with strong views on many matters and uncertainties around others. [Like many of us]. What I admired most was her resilience as life had thrown many challenges her way. And yet Julia always found time to help many others and causes.

I hadn't heard from Julia for several months and, like others, was beginning to wonder and thinking of contacting her.

What I do know is that, in many respects, ASF was a "home" for this good lady. While I don't tend to contribute much, she did - and it was important to her.

I am saddened to learn of her passing - But I appreciate the opportunity to have "met" her.

ASF, for many people, serves a broader purpose than its name would suggest.

Joe - I think Julia would be thanking you for the opportunities that ASF gave her to communicate and share with so many people.

Like most I had noticed the lack of Julia's posts but just assumed she was on holidays or something like that.

I am shocked and sad to hear the news. A prolific and highly intelligent contributor to ASF who will be sadly missed.

RIP
 
I liked reading Julia's posts and our exchange of views. Noticed she had not posted for awhile and am saddened by her passing.
 
Vale Julia, you will be missed. Your quiet encouragement to many and your selfless support to those in need will be sorely missed.
 
Very sad, very sad indeed...safe to say the saddest day i/we have experienced on this forum.

RIP.
 
Ohhh this is sad indeed.

I still consider myself fairly new to this site and have not had many interactions with people but I do remember a couple of replies Julia made to my posts which had warmth and sincerity.

It's these kinds of fond memories we have of people that never die...
 
Only learned today, under the shock; and messed up my initial posting
Not much to add: "une Grande Dame" we often disagreed, but always with the greatest respect.
My last PM to Julia was to wish her "health and happiness..wealth a third ranking item.Take care and enjoy". I was not aware she was sick and this now sounds so hollow.
I hope Julia got some happiness and joy in her latter days as she has had a hard life.Her legacy should be an increased respect of the opposing side, even when fully disagreeing. I will try.
 

Her last post, epitomises the respect she had for other member's views. As others have said, we could all do with following her shinning example, me included.

Julia's last post: (Julia in bolds)

I don't know. I personally don't consider anyone 'at error'. We should all find a place which works for us. People taking what is useful from each approach would seem to indicate a mindset more open to what is possible than people who say "oh, only my approach works so everything else is laughable."

For example, when you say "but find an understanding of price action adds far more to their profitability" it implies to me that price action is actually understandable and for it to be any use, able to be predicted with some level of certainty.
I don't want to be discourteous, galumay, but you are putting your own definition on 'price action', I have never seen anyone claim that they can accurately predict what price will do.

That is completely at odds with my world view, and i am hardly on my pat malone there!!
Let's not continue to derail the WOW thread, but you give the clear impression that you give no credit to the experience, knowledge and profitability of many of the people here who take an approach different from your own. That, of course, is your right but it seems an unnecessarily narrow view.

Jeez, I haven't been this upset, since the last death in my family 20 years ago.

Agree, yet politically we (I) were at opposite ends of the scale but her reasoning pulled those ends closer and increased lateral understanding. Each time I visit this thread find eyes misting. The sudden disappearance of such a major part of ASF is hard to reconcile in cyberspace.
 
2 family friends passed away the last 3 weeks.
Now Julia.

It doesn't rain, it pours.

R.I.P Julia.

You'll have two new friends up there with connection.
 

Totally agree. It does make a difference to the tone of the threads.

And nice one Joe on keeping Julias Guest book open. She was well worth it.
 
RIP Dear Julia

She has been an outstanding contributor to this forum with her value based comments. Personally she has been a great motivator and even inspired me beyond ASF by volunteering to review my CV and providing valuable critics.
We have often exchanged PM and she was forthright to send PM when there was something good posting by me. During my first visit to North America and work in Vancouver with family Julia was very helpful in giving some contacts in Vancouver as calling a friend help line. I had never to use them but her generosity to this fellow was magnificent. I always addressed her as coach in my forum postings which she knew but now that is gone.
This forum ASF will be particularly missed with her value based contributions.
It takes time to get a good friend but ironically it does not take a second to loose them.
May God bless your departed soul Julia.
Best regards from me and my family.
 

Wonderful gesture. Thank you Joe.
 
This is a very sad day.

Unlike myself who comes here for a bit of fun and banter, Julia was a conscientious, dedicated, sober and considerate poster.

She was a great barometer of public sentiment.

I recall she had a tragic life. The following quote still resonates with me.

RIP Julia.
