Julie Cevik (2 Oct 1972 - 25 May 2019)

Hi JuJu, I wrote something for you to hear at your funeral today but unfortunately it was lost somewhere in the schedule. I’m sorry you didn’t get to hear it so now after having maybe a few too many drinks in your memory today I thought maybe I would list it here. I know I’ve already written a message previously but it feels good to let things out on this page. So here goes -


Hi JuJu,

Our beautiful, happy, smiley JuJu. I keep replaying the last few weeks in my head, everyday a new memory pops up. Most of the time they make me cry but my favourite one is the last full conversation we had before you got too poorly. It’s my favourite because it was the last time I properly heard your voice. You were excited for something i had done. You were in bed, exhausted and still managed to be positive and happy for me despite knowing deep down you wouldn’t be able to see it. So selfless and loving.

If you’re here with us Julie, which I know you are - I just want to say thank you for being not only my auntie but my big sister too. Thank you for inspiring me to follow my dreams. Thank you for all of the hilarious memories and life advice that I will carry with me forever. Don’t worry about Rachel, i won’t let her stop going to the gym or stop having pretend ‘boyfriends’ because I know that you’re there telling her not to as well. I’ve got her, don’t worry.

I’m so sorry this happened to you, I wish I had the power to undo it all.

I can’t wait to tell you all about my travels when I see you. Although I’m sure you’ll visit me every now and then anyway, seeing as being on holiday is your favourite thing. I love you so so much and miss you more and more each day, all my love

Sometimes people appear in your life and they just make everything brighter, Julie you were one of those who made the day positively shine, no matter what else was going on. Always. I will miss putting the world to rights with you, I will miss your ‘crazy’, Rocket will miss your puppucinos - always offered with joy and love and a big scritch behind his ears, I will miss your laughter, your kindness, your beautiful soul, but most of all I will miss that ever present smile. Days are a little greyer without that, but I promise to keep it in my thoughts and will cherish having known you and calling you a friend. Sleep tight, keep shining brightly x

Deepest sympathies, our thoughts are with you and your family.

My Dear....... MA JULIE,

My beautiful friend, work partner and crazy ju ju, As I'm sure you know i came and visited you today i must say you looked at peace and pain free. The white dress you have on suits you perfectly.

I never would of dreamt the last time i would see you was where we was today but i do know your no longer in any pain trying to fight this battle that crossed your path in life.

I honestly wish there was something i could do to have you back here with your children, family and friends but no matter how many if, buts and maybes i say in my head or shout out loud i know this is not possible.

I am truly hounoured and lucky to have had such a beautiful person in my life. During our time together we shared some very special events as well as some not so happy events but no matter what you was always there either at work or a texted message away to always offer support and kindness to me as well as others which just shows how much of an amazing person you really were.

I will always cherish every moment, memory and craziness i made with you until we meet again MA Julie keep that massive smile on your face.

love you forever and miss you more than words could ever describe.

love Gemma xxx

Thinking of you everyday Julie, I know will meet again someday xxxx

My dear sister-in-law Julie, what more can I say that everyone has not already said, you always made me welcome in your home. The world is a colder place without you xxx You will be truly missed by all ❤️❤️

Me Julie. I will always remember you with a smile on your face and as crazy as a box of frogs! You have been taken from us all far too soon. If there is someone up there - you give him hell!!! I will miss you loads and you will be in my heart forever. Love you Jules. Xx

To my beautiful cousin Julie, taken from the world far too soon and with so much still to give.
I wish I had had the opportunity to know you better, what a wonderful person you were and what wonderful light you shined into peoples lives. Your bright light will continue to shine through your beautiful children and the new bright light in the sky will shine down upon us all for always reminding us to be kind and selfless and of the things that matter more than anything in life, our families, our friends and being kind to each other. Sending big hugs to Uncle Colin, Auntie Linda, Tanya, Karen, Rachel, Charlotte and little Teo all the family and to anyone else your kindness touched. Sleep tight sweet Julie ❤️

In memory of my beautiful cousin who was taken far too soon.

Julie , I cannot put into words the loss this world will have without you. We started our friendship as new school mums in the playground. Me, you and Sarah hit it off and the rest is history. From the girls through to the boys we loved our coffee morning catch ups or good old gossip as you used to say. I always loved our special Christmas gatherings we had when you would laugh with that mischievous twinkle popping the bubbly knowing we were having a cheeky bit of fizz. Remembering you laughing when our gossiping afternoons made us get to school by the skin of our teeth and we would be legging it down the road. First and foremost I always was in awe of your complete strength and love for your children. I will miss that twinkle the most. I look around the playground
at school and there’s a gaping big hole without you there. My thoughts, prayers and love are with Charlotte and Teo and Colin and Lin and all the family.

Sweet Julie ❤️ I’ve taken so long to write this message because I still can’t comprehend the idea that I will never see your face or hear your voice again. You were the best, craziest Aunt on the planet and the jokes we shared will never leave me. You bought a smile to my face every time I saw you. All I can do now is try and make you proud of me in everything I do and you will always be in my heart wherever I go. I love and miss you Julie. Thank you for 18 years of fun ❤️❤️❤️

My self , Julie and Sarah met as first time school mums when the girls started at Rownhams. We immediately hit it off and a lovely friendship was born. I have so many fond memories of coffee mornings and Christmas gatherings where we would literally put the world to rights. Julie was always the cheeky one. She had a real twinkle and mischief about her that made us laugh so much. We got each other through some ups and downs and always laughed along the way. A beautiful person, a Twinkle and smile I will always hold in my heart and above all an amazing mum. Love you Julie x

Whenever I was in Julie’s company we would chat a great deal, she was always warm, friendly and funny, a very lovely person. My sincere condolences to you, Lin and Colin, and to all the family for your loss, I cannot begin to imagine how it must feel.

Beautiful smiley Julie, I shouldn’t be writing this, taken from your lovely family far too early. My heart breaks for Charlotte & Teo, you were the best mum they could ever have hoped for. They will make you so proud as you watch over them. Deeply loved & sadly missed. Sleep tight Julie.
