I can't find any words that are right. I am so sorry for your loss, and so devastated for your beautiful kids. So instead, I'll just write some memories.
I remember Sally at uni as this force of energy who survived on chips and beans from the Old Bar, drank too much cider, and always ALWAYS walked home, however late at night it was, or dodgy the streets around her were.
I remember Sally in Egypt, and I remember you Simon, in your huge flat. She was relaxed and happy, totally at home, surrounded by people, and generous in her hospitality and friendship.
I remember Sally on a random night in someone's house, dressed like it was 1974, getting twisted up in party streamers and laughing so very hard.
I remember Sally on a beach in Cornwall, absolutely freezing, then sunburnt, then squashed into a van drinking cider and smiling.
I remember Sally in London at her hen night. She introduced me to Wicked, which became an obsession for me for a while. And I remember you both at our wedding.
I remember Sally driving over to Norwich so we could compare babies and baby stories. She seemed so much more in control than me.
And I remember her handwriting, and the flowers, and the colourful pen, that would turn up every year without fail. On birthdays, at Christmas. She was so good at keeping in touch.
I was rubbish!
I will be thinking of you on Friday. I am so very sorry. I am so lucky to have met Sally, and I wish you huge amounts of love and strength.

We light a candle for you Sally we will always miss you!

Dear Simon, Annabella and Dominic, words fall short when losing a strong wonderful person as Sally. Her devotion to her family, her strength in intelligence, opinions and thoughts, her love and care for friends, her passion for her job and pupils... so many lovely qualities, such deep love given and received. She will be missed so deeply.

Dear Sally, you always were and always will be a special person in my life.
Even though we didn't see each other that often, I'll never forget the perfect memories that we have together.
You are an amazing woman and a fantastic mom! I love you so much and I hope you're in a good place now! <3

Rest In Peace, dear Sally.
Sending love and strength to Simon and family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I first met Sally at a baby massage class when she had Annabella. We formed a close bond during the first stages of our kids lives, attending many social events but mostly spending time with our friends at Lesleys house for our traditional takeaway and wine session. I will always remember her for being truely honest and her ethical values, which I admired her for. We unfortunately lost contact when they moved to Cheddington, however I did see her a year back when our kids were put into the same swim class and had a good natter. I will miss Sally, she was one of a kind and will always remain in my thoughts. My warmest wishes go out to the family she had left behind. My love and thoughts will be with you all.

I just want to share a memory of us on a glorious Sunmer’s day at Lord’s, watching an Australia tour match against Middlesex and enjoying a hearty picnic, the sun shining and Dominic and Annabella playing happily in the stands. It was an eternal day, a wonderful day; if a perfect day exists this was it. Am so glad to have enjoyed it with you, Sally. You will be much missed by all.
I don’t have a photo of that day but here’s one from Thailand in 2014.
The waters of sorrow and love run deeply entwined.

Dearest Sally,

Sister-in-law and auntie to us, you were and will always be so loved. You gave us fun and happiness in abundance, and we were lucky to know you and have you in our lives. That you are gone seems unfathomable, but you will still remain with us. Your passion, intelligence, humour and energy will never be forgotten. When we gather together as a family or the cousins go on playdates as they always have, we will be remembering you and wishing you were with us. I attach a picture of you and Dominic during a wonderful day together at Mead Open Farm last year. Just one of many happy times over the years, even though we have lived in different countries. We also promise you that we will do our best to support Simon, Annabella and Dominic as they learn to live their lives without you. It will be very hard, but you are a part of them and always will be.

All our love,
Annika, Adam, Rupert, Berkeley & Henry

I'm so sorry for your loss. Love to you and your children. My Dad also sends his deepest condolences.

Your friend always,

Alex

Our thoughts are with you all.

May you always have an angel at your sides.

I met Sally when I was 16. She came to live and study in Henley. She burst into our lives with so much colour, so much character, intelligence and ooodles of fun. A true breath of fresh air. I am so glad you came Sally, life would not have been the same without you! We stayed in touch throughout uni, after uni, during your travels teaching abroad with Simon (I used to love getting your letters!) and those years when both our children were young. I didn't see much of you in recent years but I will still always think of you warmly as one of my good old friends from back in the day. So happy I got to see you in January when I was over from NZ.

Simon, Annabella and Dominic, I am so so sorry. Sending you lots of love for now and always. I was thinking of you all yesterday. Soon after Sally's burial I got up early in NZ and walked to the beach to watch the sunrise...Sally, I could imagine your voice saying you were impressed I had managed to get up so blooming early!! Tomorrow I will go shopping for a native NZ tree to plant in your memory. I need to do a bit more research but I am thinking about one that blooms colourfully. Here is a picture from us back in the day (!) You look really pretty. Lots of love, Selina x

We all miss you so much. You were amazing in so many ways. I'm sorry we didn't meet more often. All our love, Liz, Ryan, Morgan and Darcy xxx

My name is Michael John Coker and I have lived in Cheddington for nearly 50 years - a few doors down the road from Sally's home. I met Sally a few weeks after they had moved house from Leighton Buzzard to Cheddington village. After our first meeting I used to look out for Sally as she went to a fro her car parked outside her house to have a chat with this convivial and funny lady who I knew little about. Being a widower of 13 years and having an age approaching 80 I really enjoyed the youthful chat with Sally, It was a wonderful elixir for an aged person whose diet of chat with older persons tended to be miserable and grim. It's three months on and I still miss her presence on the 'trottoir' outside her house as she rushed back to and fro from her domestic and school duties. I've not seen much of Simon, Annabella and Dominic as they slip quietly in and out of their home which must be filled with thoughts and memories of a dear Wife and Mum. My contact wilth Sally was little compared with her long standing friends and close relatives but I can say that those snatched moments of conversation were wonderful and humorous and I'll cherish them. As we approach Christmas I shall no doubt think of Sally quietly and happily and I hope that Simon, Annabella and Dominic will be content to know that many others as well as myself with be taking a moment to let Sally be remembered with much fondness.
