It's a long while since I have been online, so apologies if I have posted this in the wrong arena. This is something I need to make everyone aware of.
Julia (Jools) Irving passed away peacefully earlier today with her daughters, Jenny and Jade and close family around her.
Many of you whose lives have been touched by Jools, as indeed mine has, will share a great sadness from this news, but also thankfullness that her pain has gone, she was dignified to the end.
It is difficult for me at this time to share much more as I am deeply sorrowed by my great friend's passing. More information regarding her funeral will follow early next week.
I hope you will join with me in wishing her family and close friends much love and support during what is an extremely difficult time for them.
Kind regards
Carole Dixon
