Julia Kalser, (1955 - 2016) - ForeverMissed.com Online Memorials

A Beautiful Soul is Never Forgotten. May Julia's Spirit Remain With Us Forever.

60 years old
Born on September 18, 1955 in Montreal, Canada
Passed away on September 1, 2016 in Orlando, Florida, United States

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 can only imagine your sense of loss David. Julia and I felt connected by both our Canadian citizenship and our choice to move down to Orlando. Julia was so honest and dependable and truly cared about people's happiness. I am so saddened to hear of her passing and will miss her for both personal and professional reasons. Rest peacefully Julia.

It was with great sadness that I learned of Julia's passing. Julia and I were high school friends who spent all of our time sharing all the things teenage girls do. Even though our paths have not crossed in awhile Julia will always hold a special place in heart and memories.

Deeply saddened by Julia passing - she was one beautiful,smart, full of life and love person . My prayers and thoughts are with you all
As a mother, she could not be anymore proud of her son.
May she rest in peace - while always being with us .

For all who knew and loved her the memories of her will be happy ones and someday will leave an afterglow of smiles. But not today. Today the earth has one less gentle soul, and heaven has new angel. Rest in peace beautiful Julia.

I was deeply saddened by Julia's passing. Julia and I were friends since we met in high school at BHS. She was one of the first friends I met and she introduced me to so many new friends. she was always kind, loyal, funny and extremely smart. She loved her family so much and was so very proud of her son Jamie. She was an exceptional woman and I am so proud to have had so many wonderful memories of our friendship. You are cherished by all who knew you Julia xxx
Love Nancy Anderson

I write this with such a heavy heart. My memories of Julia start when we were just little girls playing and swimming at our cottages on Lac Notre Dame. Our friendship started then and continued through our lives. We celebrated so many special occasions together, the last one being my daughter Kristen's wedding. (Julia's goddaughter). That day was the first time I met you David and the last time I saw Julia. I am so glad she found you David. Jamie, you know what you meant to your mom. I don't know how to end this other than say thank god for memories. I will miss you dear friend. Love you always,
Carol Webster.

Words cannot possibly convey the depth of sadness we are feeling at this time. With broken hearts we send our condolences to David, Jamie, Dean and Sheila, Gerald and Anita, their families and extended family.

We will cherish our fond memories of a lifetime and I will forever miss my beautiful cousin...my "buddy".... With Peace and Love from Nancy, Paul, Jon and Jaclyn.

Heather and I are so saddened to learn about Julia's death. She was such a vibrant person, full of dynamism and energy.

Julia was good at keeping in touch with friends, and always full of fun and laughter. I have many warm memories of her as a young girl, when we would spend time together as part of a large circle of friends at Lac Notre Dame.

Whatever difficulties she had, Julia tackled them head on, bringing all her talents to bear on any obstacle in her path. She was thoughtful and effective as a town councillor here in Hudson and used her way with people to get things done.

Julia will be dearly missed by family and friends.

My dear niece, Julia, has been a bright light for me since the day she was born. I have delighted in watching her grow and bloom as a wonderful mother to Jamie and a loving wife for David.
I miss her very much as do her cousins Andrea and Derek but her love of life will remain a shining memory for us.
My loving thoughts are with Jamie and David. i share your emptiness.
With much love,
Auntie Jackie

Words cannot express our shock and sorrow. You not being at the other end of a phone call or email is too hard to imagine.

She is Gone

You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all she has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
Or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she’s gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what she would want:
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

David Harkins.

Dear beautiful Julia, oh you are being terribly missed. We are blessed for the fun time we had together just two weeks ago, when we had some glasses of wine, enough to put us in the mood to sing and dance inside the uber ride home...lol...And that evening you reminded that i had said "Julia, he is the one!!", referring to David, You just kept talking about this special guy. Yes, he is the one indeed!! We always had so much fun together, dancing, laughing, and sometimes falling on the floor due of course because we always would be wearing super high heels!! You are not just a friend, but you are also a professional we will miss forever. You helped us so much purchasing our new home here in Winter Garden. We have your touches throughout our home, the plant you chose for us, the screen, the blinds! and the love and dedication you engraved into our house and our heart. We love you. God bless you and until one day we meet again.

Dear David, your Aunt and I only knew Julia for about six years -- through Phone Calls, Emails, Texts and Videos ...

What we soon learned after you had us "meet" her was that she was a Loving, Lovely, Friendly Sweet lady who was making you, our Nephew David, very very very happy!

Now we hope and are very sure that your cherished memories of Julia will continue to make you, David, happy throughout your life...

We love you,

Uncle Manny and Aunt Trudy

How would I describe Julia? Well, vibrant would be a good start! Julia was so kind, always had her car full of gifts for my kids and me, whenever she visited. Julia never forgot a birthday - she was much better than I was on that! She was so very proud of her Jamie and talked about his pilot progress. Julia truly cared about her friends, her friend's family and never forgot details about people she loved. Julia and I met in 1968 and became fast friends. I love her like a sister.

Julia and David were two peas in a pod. They were so well suited and were such wonderful hosts at their beautiful home in Florida. They were the entertaining dream team and we will always remember our time with them. Julia loved David to bits and always told me so. It went both ways.

How can such a vibrant, funny, smart, beautiful lady be gone so early? It is baffling to us all. Julia was so brave with her breast cancer treatment and what followed. Even describing what she was going through was always with humour! That's our Julia!

Julia will be forever missed by all who were lucky enough to be in her life. Rest in peace, beautiful friend.

Love Mary and Mickey Bailey

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
