Could we have a quick roll call of those hoping to get to Supersprout's funeral, so we can say hello? I hope to be there.
I can't be there. Work and family commitments including an imminent death. Will someone please give big hugs to young Will on my behalf?
tell will we'll be thinking of him, marilyn and ray xx
There in thoughts from Belgium.
Ken
I will be there Xx Jeannine
What time is Sarah's funeral? I would like to be able to set aside time to be thinking of her and Will.
Safe journeys everyone.
I believe it's at 11am. Unfortunately work demands prevent me from attending, but I'll definitely be going for a quiet walk and think at 11.
Yes the funeral is at 11am. I'll be there.

Is it tomorrow? If so, I won't be able to make it, but will light a candle at 11am.
Love to Will & family, x
It is Thursday XX Jeannine
Personal thing....I don't do funerals....didn't do my dads, will only ever do my own. However, Sarah has been in my thoughts daily and on Thursday, I will rest awhile and remember my mate.
For those that are making the journey, be safe.
Thank you for letting us know the details, I can plan something special now for that time.
I will be there, hoping to meet some of you.
I'll be teaching all day, unfortunately.
I would have gone had I been able to spare the time, cash and battle with trains. I will be thinking of SS on Thursday.
Too far for me, sadly. I plan to be on my plot amongst all that straw, and I'll raise a cup of coffee to one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure to know but never met (mores the pity).
I'll join you in raising a cuppa, emaggie..sending good thoughts to the family :)
Can't be there, sadly, but will be thinking of dear Sarah and Will.
I will be going, taking with me some cards and the thoughts of some other A4Aers. Hope if someone sees a bit of a waif/stray type person hanging around they will realise that it's me!
;)
I will be there God willing. I pricked out a load of toms today,sown on the day Sarah was hoping to be here helping me. I don`t mind admitting I shead a tear or two.
unfortunatly I cant attend because of work commitments, but like mrs KP i will be thinking about sarah and i might even pop onto the chat room if anyone needs a cyber shoulder :-)
Please give will a hug and if someone can bring a handful of straw for me :-) i am sure she would appreciate a bit of straw around her flowers :-) on the plotty
Darn crying again!! :'(
Katie I'll be travelling up with one or two others and we are going to meet up with Carol about 10am at the railway station. Would you like to meet us there too?

I got a pm from Dan saying he'd edited my post because there had been a request that the details of time & date not be made public. Not sure if those who posted these details can edit theirs too.Hope nobody's been upset.
Don't worry Caroline. Will didn't want the details of the funeral time and location posted on any (public) site, that's all. Dan was just being the fab moderator that he is but I see no harm in people knowing that Sarah's funeral is on Thursday morning.

Well shes walking through the clouds
With a circus mind thats running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
Thats all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.
When Im sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
Its alright she says its alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.
Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing
The words we say and the thoughts we pray,
We say and think in our own special way,
But neither of these can show how we feel,
For someone we knew, and the loss that we feel.
Together we laughed, and together we shared,
That joy of friendship, when together we cared,
A problem was light when you were around,
We miss your humour, we miss your sound.
Describe a flower, tell me a rhyme,
I'll tell of a lady now trapped in time,
Touched me, touched you, lit this world with her words,
Now travelling home like all springtime birds.
But you won’t be forgotten, we won't let that be,
You one busy lady, you one busy bee,
You'll always be with us in A4A to remain,
For us 'Super-Sprout', is an eternal name.
:'( :) thanks, kk it's lovely
Cleo and Kenkew, they are lovely word and paint such a colourful and now peaceful SuperSprout.
SuperSprout, I was with you just now up the lottie, laid a bag of barley straw around the raspberries with you.......x
sorry, I can't make it, but she will be in my thoughts - travel safely everyone, best wishes.
thoughts from Spain, I'll be singing songs with my year 8 class, will sing Beautiful for Sarah
Cleo and Kenkew, they are lovely poems, thank you. :)
More tears... :'(
Wish I could be there too to say goodbye to lovely Supersprout but not possible. Like others I shall be thinking of her. Safe journey to all you who are going.
I can't be there either - I really wish i could. I'll be at work but at 11 am I'm come on here, maybe others could meet me for a quick chat! I'll definitely be thinking of you all, Sarah, Will and the family!
Too far for me too from the south west. My new plum tree is adorned with a laminated photo of Sarah and the date of her passing to remind me in years to come of her courage, strength and lovely helpful nature.
Please hug Will for me on Thursday - I'll be with you all in spirit to say Goodbye to our Supersprout.
Tricia
Olive could you all go in the chat room together I think your idea is very specail XX Jeannine
There are many of us that would like to be there but due to commmitments of one sort or another cannot. We will all be there in spirit to say goodbye to our friend Sarah. Please take care those of you who are travelling. Love to Will and family.
