I feel very lucky that Juliet and I were friends from a young age. We knew each other through Trinity in Tenterden and my brother, Paul, and I used to go to play with Ju and Marcus every Thursday evening at their house while our parents took it in turns to go to the church midweek meeting. I loved those times - we became really good friends and used to watch Knightrider and Streethawk and make up dance routines to Abba songs! My family and I moved away from Kent when I was 12 and Ju was 11. Despite living hundreds of miles away we stayed in touch and would regularly write. We used to visit each other and Juliet also came to stay with me at University. We then went on holiday together to Italy and Spain a couple of times in our early 20s and we were bridesmaids for each other. Juliet means so much to me. She has been such a constant in my life - even when in recent years our contact became more intermittent, she was one of those friends where you can just pick up where you left off. She was always such a beautiful person and has been such an example in the way she lived her life. I feel so grateful to have had her as a friend. I will miss her so much.
