I first met Julie over 12 years ago, when we started as Education Welfare Officers on the same day. We became friends and supported each other through all the challenges starting a new job brings. Julie always had a knack of knowing when I needed a chat, cup of tea or even a glass of wine! I remember sitting with her one day, on a bench in Dartford Park, having been on a home visit, eating lunch and chatting in the sunshine.
When Julie moved on to a new job, we stayed in touch, meeting for meals and a chat which used to go on for hours as we would catch up on family and work news.
Julie was a very special person, always thinking of others and going above and beyond to help people.
I will miss you, Julie, and hope that the sun is shining down on you.
