Will, I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. She was a real inspiration on this site, her response to my first post saying hello was so genuine and welcoming. We will all miss her and my thoughts are with you at this sad time. My partner lost his mum to cancer last year and we had to race to the hospice and also were too late, but we like to think she chose her time to go with dignity and grace and I'm sure your mum did too.

Sorry to hear about your mother Will, she was always one of the first to advise me especially when I first came on the site and I got a bale of straw for my birthday just to see what Sprout was going on about. The straw will stay and always be a reminder of her all the best Will, you dear mother Sarah will be missed.

On the 6th Feb I had an email from Supersprout telling me she was going away for a week or two, we now know where you are Supersprout and we will all see you there one day.
Now is the opportunity to kick some straw! Eat dumplings!
Be as strong as you can Son of Sprout, close your eyes and feel this hug. x

Thank you so much for coming on here and telling us the sad news. It's always hard to know what to say in these circumstances.

I only met Sarah the once at Barnsdale with Kathi and we all hit it off. I too have a son called Will which we both thought was funny, we spent about 20 minutes comparing the two of you. She spoke so highly of you and how much of a help you were to her. She was always sending me unusual seeds, had a brilliant sense of humour and such kindness that will be missed so much.

Take care and remember our thoughts will always be with you and Sarah.

I am not one for words, so lack that skill in expressing my experiences of a truly outstanding woman, even now I smile as I recall memories of Peterborough.

I also pass on condolences from Sam, aka Yellow Petals.

Dear Will

Your mum was a truly wonderful woman, I have learned so much from her postings. Please accept my love and very best wishes.
Whenever I go to my allotment and mulch around plants I always think of her; now I will remember her (with a smile).

Take care of yourself - all good wishes

Just wanted to echo what everyone else has said so far.

Will, you know that your Mum was a very special lady. I never met her, but was immediately made to feel welcome on a4a because of Sarah's responses to my posts. She understood the importance of string ;)

We did a squash seed swap and agreed to plant them on the same day - 17th April. I will still do that and Barbara Butternut will be her memorial.

I will miss her posts and cyber friendship more than words can say.

God bless Sarah

Sarah Jones was a truly remarkable lady. She fought this dreadful disease with such bravery. Like Eric and Georgie we talked in here and on MSN and she had such a sunny disposition you couldn't help but laugh along with her but we knew that she was suffering. Now she is at peace and you will have truly wonderful memories of a special Mum Will, because Sarah was a special lady. I am going to miss her so much, we had such wonderful chats. I would have loved to have met her in person but am pleased to have had her company for many hours albeit in a chat room. A Special Person. Rest In Peace Sarah, till we meet again.

Will, it's winter again in our hearts just now, but in the spring your mum's seeds will grow in our gardens and plots and Sarah will live with us again and so her life with us will go on and on and not be forgotten.

Please take care of yourself and I hope that you, too, have all the support you need, now and in the future.

Sarah was brave, and so are you......truly the Son of Supersprout :)

Such sad news ,Supersprout will be missed . Nice friendly person good sound advice .

As someone who was lucky enough to know Sarah outside this forum I don't wish to say too much right now. But I'd like to contribute to this tribute thread in some way so here's an extract from an email I sent to Will earlier today.

'I've seen the lovely message you have posted on A4A and I hope the replies and cards that are sure to follow offer you a grain of comfort. I want to gather my thoughts before I sit down and write you a letter about all the happy times Sarah and I shared. All I will say for now is your mother was a ray of sunshine. She made me laugh so much and even though I'd only known her for about 18 months, she had become a firm and very loyal friend. I'm going to miss her so much.'

Will, i'm so sorry for your loss - although i didn't know your mum personally I feel like i've lost a friend today too. I lost my uncle to cancer almost two years ago, so know how cruel this devastating disease can be - I'm walking the Playtex Moonwalk in May and as well as doing it in memory of my beloved uncle Peter, i'll also be thinking of your mum.

I so grateful for all of the advice she's given me over the last few months, and how she's made me look at a bale of straw in a whole new light! She has truly inspired all of us newbies, and i'll think of her fondly when i'm sowing my first ever seeds on the lottie this year.

Thanks for taking the time to let us all know your sad news, take care of yourself and the rest of your family. Love & prayers to you all x
