   It is with great sorrow that I have to announce that <b>Julie Lessiter</b> lost her fight against Cancer and passed away peacefully at 19.00hrs on Wednesday 18th February.
   The footprints Julie leaves in my heart, and the lives of family and Friends are too deep to ever fade, Wonderful Memories will live on and on..[:)]
   
   Julie will be greatly missed by many.
   
   A natural burial will take place this "Saturday 28th February" and will be a closed family affair.
   I will arrange a get together for Friends and Work colleagues  to celebrate Julies Life and pay respects <b>Time , Date and Venue to be announced  </b>..[;)]
   
   As many of our Friends are all together  at the ACOC Awards / Dinner & Dance this Saturday 28th February, I propose to have a minutes Ovation/Celebration and
   raise a glass to Wish Julie all the best on her new journey.
   
   I take this opportunity to  personally thank all those who have sent cards, emails. text and made phone calls of condolence.
   Received from Friends / ACOC members in UK, France, Germany, Holland, Luxembourg  and USA.  a great cosmopolitan group indeed.

Julie has been in our thoughts for so long now, battling with dignity and courage, but above all she was the definition of 'joie de vivre', and was there for Sue & myself at a time of need; and we will miss her.
   How appropriate to Clap, Cheer, Celebrate and raise a glass to the best memories, with a 'thank you' for having been a part of our lives...Sue & I will, wherever we are.

   Over the past month or so had a few requests from Julies neighbours and work colleagues for a copy of the slide show shown at "Julie's Gathering."
   
   During the ACOC International in Luxembourg met up with many Friends who couldn't make "Julie's Gathering"
   
   In response have created  the following link of random pictures as a tribute to Julie:-
   
   Julie Lessiter`s Album
