"It's
with
deep
heartbreak
that
today
I'm
sharing
the
news
that
my
beautiful
daughter
Sarah
has
sadly
passed
away.
Many
of
you
will
know
of
Sarah's
battle
with
cancer
and
that
she
fought
so
strongly
from
her
diagnosis
until
her
last
day.
She
slipped
away
peacefully
this
morning.
I'd
like
to
thank
everyone
for
their
kind
support
over
the
past
year.
It
meant
the
world
to
Sarah
and
it
gave
her
great
strength
and
comfort
to
know
she
was
loved.
I
know
she
won't
want
to
be
remembered
for
her
fight
against
this
terrible
disease
-
she
was
a
bright
shining
star
and
I
hope
that's
how
she
can
be
remembered
instead.
