I haven't been in here for a while but stopped by yesterday for a look and was deeply shocked and saddened by the news of Julia's passing.
I'm finding it hard to come to terms with this.
I've never met Julia but corresponded with her quite a bit a while ago and thought one day when I'm up that way I'd like to catch up and now this.......I'm in disbelief really.
She will leave a gaping hole in this community for some time to come, even now I remember when I used to post I would be mindful of Julia passing her eye over my comments and responding.........no more, never again.
If it's like this for us imagine the effect on her family and friends.
"Condolences" is all I can say and it's not nearly enough.

Thanks Julia for your insights, caring and intelligent contribution to this community.....RIP Julia.......
 
I haven't been on for a while and just came across this thread. I can't believe it, Julia was such a huge presence in ASF.

We had much in common (politics, family values and law and order) and much that we disagreed on (religion and sport) but she never held a grudge and was always very tolerant and genuinely cared about people she encountered on here.

She often asked me about Mrs Duckman and our 4 ducklings.

I will miss you very much Julia.

Duckman
 
This shows you the kind of person Julia was, this is a PM from her to me.
####Pilots, you have just sent my PM to you back to me?????

I also ask the question, is being "GREEDY" unlawful ? Hello Pilots
Solly has made the above post. For reasons known only to himself, he seems to be trying to tie you up in knots over your fairly innocent comments about the sort of corruption we all know exists.

My suggestion is that you ignore his question to you. Up to you of course, but he is, I think, a lawyer. He is obviously very aware of the law, seems to have some inside knowledge of the Storm stuff, and prides himself on using sophisticated language.

You are under no obligation to respond to him any further than you have done already. I smell something unpleasant going on here. If you do decide to reply, if you want to first send me your reply post, I'll be happy to help with maybe the sort of language that will deter him from trying to paint you into a corner.

Entirely your choice. I just detest people like Solly trying to diminish others.

Cheers
Julia
 
Only just found this thread as I was away myself. Julia will be sadly missed, she contributed so much and offered such a balanced view as a regular contributor to this stock forum. Reading this thread and it's evident she was held in such a high regard by everyone. RIP Julia
 
Julia possessed great wisdom.

I often wondered how old she was.

Does anyone know how old Julia was? (gone to early at any age).
 
Julia would so have loved the recent ABC Classic FM Top 100 Swoons.

ABC Classic FM was a shared love.

I often think of her when these beautiful pieces are played.
 
Well,

I am another one who has not posted for a while.

What a shock, one of the rocks of ASF has left us, however, I suspect anyone who has been on over the time she graced us with her presence and input will remember her whenever we frequent these boards.

I for one often strongly disagreed with her, but to her credit, when we agreed, we did so in a professional manner.

She is definitely one of the ASF members I would have dearly loved to meet in the real world.

RIP Julia.

Often spoke via private messages
I love Hervey Bay and while I never caught up with Julia she
Made it clear there was always a meal and a chat at her place.

There was a lot to Julia and an amazing life I would have love to have discovered
 
I think quite often how I miss her sensible, level headed and fair commentary. She had a hard life by the sound of it but it didn't make her bitter.

She was a great example to us all.
 
As I previously mentioned, My wife and I met Julia personally at Pialba some 4 years ago......5' nothing and about 45 kg...Very petite.....No spring chicken....Straight to the point without mincing her words and well abreast with the latest happenings......She was very switched on.
 
I have had a hiatus from ASF for some-time & just recently re-acquainted. Work & family intervened as they tend to do. Terribly sorry to hear of Julia's passing. I always enjoyed her point of view on such a range of topics. As with so many others, she also would send me PMs from time-to-time to better explain a point she had made or thank me if I had supported a point she had made. That is unusual in the on-line world & showed both her humanity & good grace. RIP
