Julia COSTELLO
(née McGuinness)

Julia used to babysit for me and my brothers when I was younger. I always remember her being one the nicest and kindest people that I ever met. My memories of her are very fond and I am extreemly saddened by the news of her passing.
My condolonces to husband and family.

I am siobhan clarkes aunt I first met Julia when my brother was terminally ill in2004 . Apart from thinking that she was extremely beautiful I found out she was a fantastic cook as she provided all our family in Dublin with beautiful cakes every day leaving them on the doorstep so as not to disturb anybody my dad was convinced she was a professional baker and that we had commissioned her services the last time I saw Julia was unfortunely at st Vincent's hospital last march and April when my mother spent her last days she couldn't visit mum because of her condition but we saw Julia and her mum around the place and we were priveleged that bree came to mums funeral mass I cannot say how inspirational I found being in the company of your mother and sister and I send all our prayers to an amazing family and husband xxxx

I am so saddened to hear of the loss of your beautiful Julia. I taught with her in Jobstown for a few years. She was a generous, kind and helpful colleague - an absolutely wonderful lady. She touched the lives of so many people and as her past pupils have admirably said, she was an inspiration, and will be remembered for all her wonderful qualities. My heartfelt sympathies to Tom and all of Julia's family and friends.

I had Julia as a teacher for 2 years.She will always be a teacher I remember for the joy and fun she brought to class.A very warm and caring person who will be sadly missed x
