‘We offer to her family our condolences, prayers, love and support over these difficult days.

‘It was always a joy to see Sarah at church events, especially at our Mums & Tots group.

‘She was a familiar and friendly part of our local community, a young mum who would stand with other mums at the gate of Donaghadee Primary School at pick up time, a school which she herself had attended

‘The tragic nature of Sarah’s death, compounded with the loss of her unborn child, can only add to the immense sense of grief that her family and friends will be feeling.
