An infectious laugh taken far too soon. Memories will live on. Deepest sympathy to the Prior and Hemming families.

We have such wonderful memories of Sara from helping with Rebecca and David wedding to staying with you all on another visit to New Zealand. Sara was kind to show us around Wellington. Always smiling ,such a lovely smile. Taken from her families far to early but at peace now. Our thoughts are with the Prior family and the Hemming family at this sad time .Love Ann and Rob and Paul and Jenn Lyra and Scarlett
