My dearest friend Julie. Where to start? From family gatherings on Calderon to camping, to trips to wasaga, to the numerous sleep overs and basement parties, I have so many happy memories of your beautiful, hilarious and cool mother. The delicious breakfasts they’d prepare for us after they’d come back after a good Saturday and/or Sunday morning of garage sale shopping. Thin European pancakes that seemed so sophisticated to me at 12 years old.
Never forget some of the Mrs. Zakhar-isms I’ve shared with you like, “Oh, charming, Bugger, Fancy that’ and, “oh, no more raw onions”. Happy memories of her at your special birthdays, graduations, and other family celebrations. I know your mother was always so very proud of the glorious woman you were developing into and became.
You’ve had such a long good—bye with her, not that you ever complained. Where you found the endurance and strength I’ll never know. Her longevity and good health speaks volumes of your loving care and compassion.
She is finally free. Rejoice in the beauty of her release. You will always feel each other’s love - that will never end. May your heart and soul be filled with peace and love.
