157128~Grief and inspiration —My sister, Julia Cecilia Smith,
was an inspiration to me, my family and her many friends. She
passed away this week after a nine-year battle against breast
cancer. Julia was easily the most gifted and talented of my
parents’ seven children. She was a writer, a poet, a singer, an
actress and songwriter. She left behind her loving husband of 15
years Colin and her three young children; Lily, Irene and
Colette.
What a beautiful story of embracing love and rising above your circumstances. Your sister lived a triumphant life. Hugs and prayers for her family.
