WOYWW Week 905 - Today is for Sarah

 

Photo from the 10th WOYWW Crop held in Shrewsbury in 2019 showing Sarah.

When I was contacted by Annie (Wipso) and Jan (LLJ) on Saturday with the news that Sarah had died I was shocked. Sarah, who was still so young and who had recently retired and was living her life to the full. My heart goes out to her Mum, her sons, her sister, her friends - in particular Eva - all will miss her so much.

When Julia announced that she was stepping down from presenting the weekly WOYWW post it was Sarah who volunteered to take over. For that we WOYWWers were grateful. We would have missed our weekly get-together. 

For that, and so much more, Sarah will never be forgotten.

She certainly was a special lady who was taken far too soon.

Hi Elizabeth. I still keep thinking it's a mistake and Sarah is still here, she was just so full of life that it's difficult to believe she's gone. WOYWW hugs, Angela x12x

Sarah will be missed by all who knew her personally and those who didn't. She left her mark on all of us. Big hugs to us all😢❤️and especially to her family, and a big "thank you" to Sarah who was a part, however small, in all of our lives on WOYWW. Lindart #20

Such a sad day for all who knew Sarah - and you speak the truth. She was a special, talented lady and her loss is already deeply felt.
