Our lovely sister, Sarah Gregory, after a brief spell in the Countess Mountbatten Hospice, chose to go home where she lost her long painful battle with Cancer on Friday 20th December 2019.

She will be so sadly missed by all of us. A devoted single mother to her two boys Wesley and Warren, a very devoted, loving Nana to her grandchildren Kaitline, Riley, Eddison; and had sadly left us before the birth to Wesley of Theo.

Our family of Mum, five sisters three brothers, 9 nieces, 6 nephews, 4 great-nieces and 5 great-nephews and all of their families will miss her terribly too, At 53, our vibrant, youngest sister, - who lived life to the full and - ‘’did it her way and on her terms’’ - life was cut short far too early, by years of pain and struggle with Cancer. She went to Bitterne Park School, and had many jobs in the Bitterne and Weston areas as a Factory worker, in an Esso Garage, Eye Contact factory and latterly as a Manager for a Cleaning Company.

Our family supported her many times when she fell on hard times, but, we know that she formed many lifetime friendships – often with those with similar circumstances as her own - through her times spent with her kids at the Weston Adventure Playground; her love of horses that friends had; and holidays with friends to Cornwall and abroad.

She was a child of the 80/90’s and loved going out drinking and dancing with friends and family.
She loved her dogs Jake, Buster and Ruby. She loved her recent partner Memet.

Our family will respect Sarah’s last wishes for a simple Cremation, No Fuss, No Wake, No Flowers,
(but donate, if you wish to the Countess Mountbatten Hospice), No cars, No religion, No sadness, & Bright Colours.

We have chosen Jonathan Terry who has helped us to arrange her Funeral on Friday 17th January at 4.00 p.m. We will arrive from 3.30 p.m. onwards and Sarah will come about 3.50 p.m.
We will follow her in to Celebrate her Life on Planet Earth and say our Final Goodbye to her.

To all those who donated at our Sarah's Funeral and to Gary, Jackie Chris and Lotte who left a card...
''In loving memory of a fun-loving lady with a heart of gold'' I would like to say Thank You very much for your contribution to our Sarah.. It was so very kind of you. If you would like a copy of the Order of Service, I have one on an email from the printers. If you would like one please leave your email in a message here, and I will send you a copy. We all raised £1056 for the Countess Mountbatten Hospice Charity. A small help for the excellent voluntary work they do there, where their experience, empathy, understanding and kindness it makes a very sad time bearable.". Bye Sarah xxx

Dear Sylvia Corke,
Thankyou is such a small word, and does not do the excellent Service you gave our Sarah justice.
Everyone said how wonderful you were. They could not believe that you had never met or knew our Sarah. I, and my family, are so very grateful to you for making our final goodbye so special, and done with such dignity, empathy, compassion, professionalism. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Our lovely Sarah touched, and was part of so many lives, in so many ways. She has left a huge hole in our lives and will be missed by so many of us; but, always remain in our hearts and memories. Her funeral was so well attended that all of the Order of Service leaflets were taken. If you attended , or were unable to go, I have ordered some more. If you would like one please let me know, and I will send it to you. I didn't have time to speak to everyone that attended either, so, if I missed you I am sorry. Thank you. Sue x
Rest In Peace our Sarah
If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don’t you ever cry.

The love that’s deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You’ll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.
