'She was an extraordinary child and the most selfless person I have ever known, someone so full of kindness.'
The heartbroken mum of a brave Co Down teenager who 'defied all the odds' has led tributes following her death from cancer.The Year 12 student at Lagan College was diagnosed with an extremely rare brain tumour a few years ago and underwent an operation and treatment but unfortunately the tumour returned last year.She is survived by her parents Dorota, Artur and younger brother Daniel, 10. Sadly, Dorota and Julia were diagnosed with cancer just two years apart.
"She was rushed into hospital for an emergency operation and had 90% of the tumour removed. After that she had radiotherapy and chemotherapy but a few months later the cancer came back again." "She was very musical too and even managed to teach herself the ukulele. She loved playing hockey too at school. Everyone knew Julia because of her bright smile and when she walked it into a room, it lit up."
"She was in hospital for three weeks before she died and we managed to get her home on a Friday but she died the following Monday morning." She added: "Lagan College is deeply saddened by the loss of Julia Okon, one of our Year 12 students. Julia was an inspiration to all and taught us to live each day to the fullest, with a beaming smile.
