Julia was born on September 18, 1955, in Montreal, Canada.  She received her bachelor’s degree from Concordia University, and went on to build a vibrant career as a residential real estate broker.  The ultimate entrepreneur, Julia started her own business in Ottawa, the Real Estate Book, where it soon thrived.  When she relocated to Orlando, she fought through the bureaucratic red tape to start her own real estate brokerage company, Options Realty.  Julia’s reputation in the real estate industry, where she worked for more than twenty years, was exemplary.  She mentored the people who worked for her, inspired those who hoped to follow in her footsteps, and served her clients as a consummate professional.

Julia was diagnosed with breast cancer in the fall of 2014.  For the past two years, she fiercely and courageously battled cancer, while simultaneously running her successful business.  Unwilling to cede any ground to cancer, Julia had the best period of her professional career last month.

Julia Lynn Parsons-Kalser passed away on Thursday, September 1, 2016.  Julia is survived by her husband, David Kalser, her son, Jamie Parsons, and Pumpkin, the best puppy in the world.

Memorial contributions may be made in her name to charities working to prevent and cure breast cancer. Please follow the link: https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-donations

I love when you come to visit in my dreams.
You will always be the "Good Witch" to me.
I think about all the times we sat at the tiki hut at Carmens and all the long talks on the porch (mostly about our boys)
I see Jamies posts and think how proud you must be of him 
and think of David & Pumpkin (#2) and all the love you all shared
Miss you Girl! xoxo

A friend is precious and Julia was as great a friend as possible. She was the best listener and she was always a supportive force. Can’t believe she has been gone 4 years. If only we could have More time together!! I feel lucky to have been Julia’s friend for 50+ years.

My dear friend Julia, the miles separated us and I was busy raising my family and was never good at keeping in touch. But I always thought of you on your birthday, St. Patrick’s Day and my wedding anniversary. I was always planning that trip to Florida, and the day finally came when I I had the time and resources to come and see you. So I googled you to find out if you were still in Orlando and sadly learned that I would never see you again. I wish I could have been there for you when you were sick. Life is so unfair sometimes. But my heart is full of loving memories of the happy times in our lives when we were starting our careers and our marriages and our families. We were there for each other then. I miss you so much, my friend and I thank you for all of the goodness you brought into my life. PS. I always wanted to tell you that my oldest daughter Laura named her daughter Julia who is now 4 j

So many times over the last two years, I have thought, “I have to tell Julia that”, only to sadly remember that she has gone to the other side. She left us far to early. Her final and happiest days were with her sweet David, who loved her unconditionally and was so proud of her! Julia shone when she talked about Jamie. She was so proud of his accomplishments and when she talked about him, rays of love shone through. I will always have that special place in my heart, reserved for my friend who I met in September, 1968, in Mrs Bulger’s English class - 50 years ago! Julia was always the first to reach out to new students and show them the ropes. There was only one person like Julia! Love that girl! So many do! David and Jamie, we are thinking of you and Julia today, and always.

Wow, one year. I see our pictures from the wonderful time we spent together at the Citrus Club last year. We had just purchased our house and you had done all the work for the house to be ready for us. That night we celebrated life, you and Perry went back and forth on Canadian jokes only you two understood, but we all laughed and had fun. It is still unsettled that you are no longer physically in this world. We miss you.

I miss my bestie! Don't tell anyone, but I still speak to her out loud when I am home alone and sometimes even in front of strangers. Many times I can see her face and hear her laugh. She will always be with us; after all, she is the "Good Witch". And, we all know who is Pumpkin #1. Always in our Hearts....

There has not been a single day that has passed that I do not wish you were still here. Every morning I wake up I think of you,
because every morning I wake up, I know I am here because of you. For every sunrise for the rest of my life, I will be grateful for your guidance and encouragement. For every sunset I will know I made it through the day because you carried me. I needed and wanted many more days with you but what you left me with, will forever resonate. Every single day I'm fortunate to open my eyes, I thank you for blessing me with you. I will forever love you my sweet Julia today and everyday I'm able to take in air. You've given me confidence, you've given me courage, and you gave me something that could never be replaced, your love. Everyday I thank you and I hope you can hear me ... when I look up and speak, asking you to stand behind me, asking you to guide me as ive been so used to for the past 4 years of my life. You were God sent and though I'm an athieist, I know it had to be something omnipotent to send you into my life. I miss you terribly Julia, with every yearning piece of my heart. No matter how many days pass this feeling will never grow old. I miss you Julia Kalser, today, tomorrow and for the rest of my days. I know this will stand true until my last. You have made an imprint on this meager life that nothing in all its glory could possibly fill. Forever empty in a place only you could fill. I love, love, love, love , love you my sweet Julia.

My deepest sympathise to Jamie. Julia was a long time friend and a LOVELY lady. Having known her for over 30 years has been a pleasure. Her death has made a vacancy in my life and those who know her. A great loss

Today would have been our Julia's 61st birthday. Julia, you should have had at least 30 more birthdays, but you were robbed of this life and we were robbed of your beautiful earthly spirit.

I find myself talking to my new angel, several times a day, already asking for help here and there. Julia would, if at all possible, look out for all of us, the people she loved.

Thinking of you David, on one of many sad days that you have had since August 28th, when the nightmare began. Know that you are not alone in your grief, because many of us loved Julia too and are feeling a gap in our souls as well. But you were Julia's soulmate and you must be missing her terribly. Our hearts are with you.

Take good care, David and we will be in touch soon.

David, I wish I had the words to express the sorrow that we are feeling. We think about you and Julia often and the laughs that we were able to share during our visits to FL. I hope that when we are having these cherished memories we are also passing on some comfort from afar. She'll always be in our hearts.

Shocked and saddened by the news, but we're so happy we had the chance to get to know her a little over the last several years. Our get togethers were always something special. May Julia rest in peace. David our hearts are with you.

Wishing Julia's family and close friends peace and strength at this time. I had not been in touch with Julia since our teen years, but I am saddened by her passing. She lives large in my memory as a bright, intelligent being who could make me laugh and think at the same time. I can see her smile when I close my eyes. I had intended to reconnect soon, but alas, life is too short. I console myself by knowing that she lived well and was happy. Peace to you all.

I am lost without my hero and idol. I read tributes from so many of Julia's close friends. It is a true testimonial to how caring and special she was to so many of us for so long. Years and miles did not give her reason to forget all her friends from the past. Years and the heavens will not allow us to forget all that we admire and love of Julia. I will try to be as kind and thoughtful in her memory. Let us all take time every day to appreciate someone and to show we care as Julia did so naturally. Jamie and David, though we all feel a great loss, we cannot imagine your sorrow. My prayers and thoughts are with you both through these difficult times.

My condolences first to you David, your family, and your friends. Alas and blessedly also the sadness and the sorrow is not yours alone and the grief is shared by so very many: Julia was a powerful force and left an indelible mark. At first simply a sister-in-law she proved herself to be a trusted and valued good friend—she was "family" as defined in every way of the term. Not without her troubles, Julia always triumphed. It is a comfort she "found" you and she always thrived—and left us on a high note. May we all celebrate our memories of her and her legacy.

Julia and I met in grade 9 in Montreal. We hit it off immediately. Her wit and intelligence were probably what I noticed first. There were many experiences we had but our trip on the bus to Trois Riviere was the most memorable. Clearly, Julia was loved and admired by many. My condolences to her family during this very sad time

Just when her life seemed brightest
Just when her years seemed the best
She was called from this world of wonder
To a home of Eternal Rest

Fond memories of the times we shared will keep us together.
