I call her a friend as I feel that I've really got to know her since her confirmation that her breast cancer had returned in April 2005...her courage, determination and positive attitude towards life has filled me with inspiration.....and a little bit of "awe". I got to know her during the launch of my FM business as she helped me design my leaflets....she came to my very first event having been rediganosed just the day before "what a great night" she said "and if I've enjoyed myself tonight then everybody else must have" were HER supportive words to me that night...and since then we've had many a laugh together... "I like your hair" i said to her whilst having a meeting with her one day "yep, I bought it from the States she said" after losing hers following another session of chemo ( I hadn't even realised !!)
She was a wonderful lady, not dissimilar to many of us, trying to juggle being a mum with working and "life", and when I heard the news this morning I felt so sad. Say a prayer for her husband and two children and her really close friends....they must be feeling like they've lost an angel this morning..God bless you Sarah
