Preface

Jules was an only child. She was born at the Queen Victoria Hospital in 1986 to Brenda and Walter Jackson. Her parents, who recently retired, owned an extremely successful Graphic Design business. They are God-fearing people who worship at Flinders Street Baptist Church in Adelaide.

When Jules was just two years old, her parents had her baptized in the church. She attended the Sunday school and when she was five, she started school at Annesley College in Wayville, where she began her Religious Education. She programmed herself to do nightly devotions and continued this well after her graduation from Year 12 in 2003. After she had graduated, Jules started tertiary studies at TAFESA studying Hospitality and Tourism. When she had attained her certificate at the completion of the 6-month full time course, due to the global financial crisis, Jules could only gain employment as a Customer Service Representative at the Franklin Street Bus Depot in Adelaide. This did not worry her too much as she was working in the industry she was qualified in.

Jules had grown into a tallish woman of average build, with brown/blonde streaked hair down to her shoulder blades. She wore blue rectangular reading glasses, which complimented her eyes, which were as blue as a clear summer sky. She had an oval shaped face and a cute button nose.

Her parents were allowing her to live in their second home Charles St, Norwood, rent-free.

Stephan and Julie Wagner were twins, born in London in 1984 to an Austrian father and English mother. They grew up only 2 miles from Stamford Bridge Football Ground, home of the Chelsea Football Club. Because they lived so close to the home ground of one of England’s most powerful football teams, they were both avid fans. The two never missed a home game. Whilst Stephan and Julie were at college, their parents relocated to Berlin for work. Not long after their 19th birthday Julie was stricken by Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disorder that was diagnosed by doctors to be fatal She was given 3 years to live and Stephan and Julie decided that they were going to make the most of what time they had left together. By the time Julie and Stephan had reached their 22nd birthday the disease had affected Julie to the point where she needed help even performing the simplest tasks. Stephan decided to move out, but not far away, so a live-in nurse could stay and take care of Julie. He promised Julie he would come to visit every day, and did so without fail.
