Julian, Myla Ann – Age 5, We’koqma’q First Nation, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 24 with her family lovingly by her side.

Born on November 7, 2018 at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish to Alyssa and Kyle Julian.  Myla lived her life in We’koqma’q with her siblings; Zoey, Adaya, Kallia and Kylissa; aunts, Tikishia, Katerri and Brittany; uncles, Jeremy and Cordell, along with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.   Grandparents; Marsha Mills, Anthony Phillips, Corenna (Albert) Pierro and the late Dwayne Paul.  Great grandparents; Betty Phillips, Anna Michael, Michael Cremo, Vernon Mills and was predeceased by grandparents; Kiju Paul and Loretta Mills.

Myla was funny, smart and sassy.  Her fight with cancer doesn’t diminish who she was.  She was a loveable, beautiful, with her beautiful red lipstick.  Myla was fearless and loved hunting.  She loved skipping down the hallways at school and wearing dresses, high-heels and bows while spinning around.  Myla was smart, funny and kind to anyone she came into contact with.  She was an excellent student and wonderful friend.  Myla could be found being helpful, dancing, singing, smiling and laughing alongside her Mom and Dad or playing in the backyard with her sisters, little cousins and friends.  Mylas favorite trip was visiting Toronto!

We would like to thank the IWK, Dr. Fares and the team of the IWK Hospital.  Thank you for the continuous love and care that you have shown our daughter throughout her courageous battle with cancer that she endured unexpectedly for several months.
