Thank you so much for all your caring, thoughtful and also very professional (in only the very best way!) help over the last few weeks. Yesterday morning, when talking about Mum’s farewell, Ros, Gavan and I all agreed that the ceremony and celebration of Mum’s life was so much smoother, caring, and personal than it could possibly have been, without you and all your help. I also need to mention that in the phone calls that I’ve had with friends over the last two days talking about Mum’s funeral, they all (without exception) asked after you, commenting on what a wonderful presence you had, and how you brought it all together so caringly and smoothly. Needless to say your name has been ‘passed on’. But most of all, thank you so much for making such an exceptionally difficult, stressful and challenging time, as smooth as it could possibly be, and working with us always to make our way through the glitches. Thank you from the bottom of (our) my heart(s). Big Hug! Kate Lamb

Hi Sarah. You made our what started off being very traumatic time become a time of something of extreme love and sharing. You took the bull by the horns from the moment you first walked into our turned upside down, chaotic, grieving lives, you were able to guide us into an orderly and somewhat absolute peaceful path. You have a wonderful gift Sarah and according to everyone I spoke at the service a very special way of delivering and sharing it with grieving souls. It was even suggested to me by several people that it was the best service that they had ever attended. Thank you again with deep gratitude and a truck load of love. Ron xx

Thank you Sarah for such heartfelt service and support. We knew from your experience with Jeremiah you understood. So many friends and parents have told us it was the most amazing experience they have ever had at a funeral and so grateful that their children had the opportunity to experience such a wonderful ceremony for their friend. Watching 300 children and parents throwing colourful paper aeroplanes at each other and smiling and laughing was just incredible and an inspired way to celebrate our boy and who he was. It was more than we expected we could ever achieve for Liam. You gave us smiles and laughter and joy in amongst our anguish and tears. We don’t know how to thank you. Kathy and Steve

Sarah thank you for the exceptional ceremony for dad. Everyone said it was a wonderful and enjoyable service. It was a complete and real celebration of his life. Thank you for including so many people and for helping me to speak in public. The preparation you gave me to be able to speak confidently at his service was a profound gift. You don’t know how important that was to me and I have since used those skills at work too! You are a very special lady with a great gift to listen and work from the heart and the head. At a difficult and emotional time, you stepped into our family with grace and patience and got the best out of all of us for the sake of our dad. We can’t thank you enough. Trish

Thanks Sarah, it was a lovely service and a beautiful day. I think he would have loved it. As I look back over the day, there’s not a single thing I would change – I just wish we had taken some photos! Oh well, it’s in my minds eye which is the most important place. Thank you for all your help and support and wisdom and grace. We could not have done it without you. I received many lovely comments about your poise and sensitivity and the quality and intimacy of the service. I thought we were a great team, and it has certainly brought us together as a family, both immediate and extended. See you soon, lots of love, xxxxxx
