Tonight I pay homage and celebrate the life of one of the
most courageous fighter I have ever known.
A very brave but gentle Lady finally gave up a hopeless battle against
Cancer and went home. My sister in Law
Julie Ross is no longer among us and she will be missed.
Facing a relentless Cancer that furiously invaded her body
Julie fought a long and brave battle. She
is now where there is no more pain or suffering.
Julie was to me more than just my Sister in Law, she was a
person who spoiled me with a large amount of Sisterly love and regardless of my
many shortcomings always made me believe that I was the best person she ever
met. I could have microwaved salt water
and Julie would have consumed with enthusiasm declaring all along that it was
the most outstanding feat of gastronomic marvel she ever had a change to
swallow.
Julie had an insatiable curiosity and was a dedicated
Genealogist in a constant search for the next layer of her ancestry. If somebody,
given time, had succeeded to trace his or her lineage to Adam and Eve that
would have been her.
Julie, her husband Henry, Jinny and myself had the rare
opportunity to take a trip on the East Coast last year and thank to Julie it was
really a marvelous trip of discovery, her child like enthusiasm took us in many
wonderful places. It was a too short but marvelous Saga punctuated by a
small conflict due to my total trust to Sarge my GPS and Julies distrust of the beast
and total confidence on her sense of navigation and multiple maps. I wish I
would have deep sixed the GPS and gotten lost in Julie Map oriented adventures!
I will miss her very much!
Farewell my little
Sister, rest in Peace, you have touched many, many lives for the better.
